Life with developers: never change <3

[azurelunatic]

So yesterday evening I walked into the work kitchen on my way out the door to refill my water bottle. There were three scruffy-looking guys of a certain age hanging around, all of them badged but none of them familiar to me.

"You must show no-one," the scruffiest one said, in a strong Russian accent. "It is not approved."

The rest of the conversation revealed that he was talking about mockups for a login page that hadn't been signed off on by the appropriate management layers yet.

It was the best accidentally nefarious sounding conversation I've ever heard.

Cue Boris&Natasha joke.

I was discussing with Kat and Nora that it sounded especially nefarious because of years of media exposure where the only acceptable roles for a strong Russian accent was as a bad guy.

(The accent in this incident was because that was the guy's accent, not because he was trying to sound like Boris.)
