But yeah, the 24/7 thing – not so much fun…

To most people, the idea of a 24/7 chat reference service is good (and having our Friends group buy us laptops is great) and realistic (we already are a part of MassAnswers.

The joke part came in with the name (“RephrenZ”), and with staff being required to be on call day and night. I knew that would anger people – being told they have to answer questions from home. And it did, too – some we so mad that they didn’t even click the link, and sent me a reply without realizing it was a joke.

That was kind of the point, but still – if a joke needs to be explained…
