I Am a Smartass

I'm glad now that I have not yet given up on online dating - if only because I have this funny story to tell you of a texted conversation I had with a man on OKStupid.
------------------------------

Man:
Sorry been in and out of meetings we are starting a new program for a trainer system
Did I read you are a technical writer. If so do you use xml formatting

SK:
Yes, I'm a tech writer, but have not so far used XML formatting at any job.

Man:
Which standard do you use s1000

SK:
We just got our ISO 9000 cert - working towards 27000 and CMMI.

Man:
Cool mind if I reach out because I have to put together training manual

SK:
I may not have a lot of time to devote - my job is pretty busy this week. How soon does the training manual need to be done?

Man:
In about 6 months
Just if I have questions

SK:
LOL, are you trying to date me, or hire me?

J/k - I'll answer if I can.....

I have a bunch of user documentation that's just begging for a good, long, thorough editing. Would you be at all interested?

Ah... the old "Would he really like to date me or hire me?" question again...馃槝

He obviously doesn't know how to flirt... he thinks by talking about something in common he'll create interest. He's trying to act like he needs you to make you feel attracted...

He comes across as dum and needy and lacking in social skills. I'm surprised you text him back at all!
Insane, And a bit clever on his part. Hmm..now, as to the his motives.

I wrote ISO 9000 and 9001 while I was a manager at Sony years ago. Being a fortune 100 company they were very on to of changes.

"on top of changes?" Hmm.. maybe there would have been a less erotic way to say it? lol

Well ISO9000 is important! Remember there will be a need for regular auditing to maintain certification! 馃
