Open source transcript

WHY DIDN'T YOU UPGRADE THE SERVERS LIKE I ASKED?

YOU NEVER ASKED ME TO DO THAT.

YES, I DID. I TOLD YOU IN AN EMAIL.

NO, YOU DID NOT.

I KNOW YOU SAW IT BECAUSE YOU REPLIED.

I REPLIED TO A DIFFERENT EMAIL.

OKAY, LET ME FIND THE EMAIL AND SHOW YOU HOW WRONG YOU ARE.

SEE. IT CLEARLY SAYS, "GIVE ME A PROJECT UPDATE BY THURSDAY." WHICH IS... AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TOPIC.

WHY ARE YOU FIGHTING ME ON THIS?
