Only using labels and mirrors to talk to people.

Them: Hello

Me: Hello

Them: Is the report done for that thing I asked your yesterday?

Me: Thing you asked yesterday?

Them: Yeah, I cant remember what it was now

Me: You can't remember?

Them: Yeah, I'll go remind myself and get back to you

Brilliant productive conversation :)

Tip: you can break lines either by pressing break line twice (it'll show a full empty line once posted), or by pressing space twice at the end of the paragraph (it'll result in a simple line break).
