IT isn't bloody.

So, I'm having some mentoring sessions with a c-level exec at my company and we were talking about setting boundaries with respect to people asking for help on the fly (as in passing by in the hallway, or on your way to take a shit). I made the comment about my girlfriend not being able to say no to clients at work and he lays this gem on me:

Servers don't tend to bleed out while you're gone.

So yeah, I think I'm going to enjoy my lunch breaks just a *little* more now...

(Oh, and my girlfriend is a veterinarian, which he knows. That would probably help that make more sense.)
