I was approaching it from every possible angle, which is why I was talking about code. As a general rule code monkeys do not like Marketing people. Which to Neon's point the conversation probably went something like this (Because all the conversations go like this no matter what company you work for):

Developer: We have a problem. Phreak: What problem? What's the impact? What's going on? Developer: Um. It's going to be late. We're looking into it. Phreak: HOW LATE!!?!? Developer: I said, we're looking into it, we'll get back to you. Phreak: Fuck.

"First rule of being a happy developer: Never ask what Marketing does or why they get paid so much."
