We were talking today about the inscrutable language of our database system. E. says "When the system says 'charged' I think I am going to have to pay for something!" What it really means is that it is "checked out". Then we see "textual holdings." E's face lights up and he starts to giggle. " Sounds like a Marvin Gaye song!" This guy is funny AND clever. His comments were validating. I thought I was the only one who didn't understand crazy, convoluted and obnoxious database language.
