A project manager and I are entering data from paper surveys into a spreadsheet.

PM: “A semi-colon? On the back page of a survey?! Who does that?”

Me <half-listening>: “Sounds like something I would do.” <pause> “Wait. That might be me.”

PM <laughing>: “Seriously punctuation-happy human…ridiculous…”

Me: “No, I mean it. It might actually be me.”

PM <turning paper over>: “OMG! It is you!”

Me: “Yeah…kinda figured.”
