🎬Tuesday afternoon, Mark is hiding in the breakroom to avoid a project deadline.
Mark
Bro, there's a huge bee on my monitor. I'm totally sketched out.
Brian
Just deal with it. I'm not coming over for a bug.
💡
Mark uses the slang 'sketched out' to mean he is nervous or creeped out by the insect. Brian's response is dismissive and grumpy, playing on the double meaning of 'bug' as both an insect and a software error, which is typical for an IT professional.
