Shop-Talk Bingo — The Roast (Alpha Wingman Edition)

Your hangar’s soundtrack isn’t turbines—it’s “ETA?”, “WHO HAS THE LATEST PHOTO?”, and the haunting ballad “THAT’S ON MY OTHER LAPTOP.”

Welcome to Shop-Talk Bingo: the only game where the prize is finding your sanity in a group chat called Operations (Definitely Final).

Greatest Hits

• “WHO HAS THE LATEST PHOTO?” Cue five adults scrolling camera rolls like archaeologists dusting off JPEGs.
  
  
• “CAN YOU RESEND EVERYTHING?” Outlook wants a raise. Attachment #7 forgot to attach itself again.
  
  
• “CHECK THE WHITEBOARD.” A snow globe of dry-erase regret. Arrows pointing to arrows. Chaos in cursive.
  
  
• “IT’S IN SOMEONE’S TEXT.” Wonderful. We’ll subpoena Someone. First name Some, last name One.
  
  
• “WHAT’S THE TAIL NUMBER?” There are two kinds of people: tail-number first… and chaos enthusiasts.

Dispatch Theater (A Tragedy in Three Questions)

1. “WHO CAN ACTUALLY GET THERE IN TIME?”
   
   
2. “WHEN WILL OUR TECH BE THERE?”
   
   
3. “ETA?” Meanwhile “WHERE IS EVERYONE?” charts regionally.
   
   

Paperwork Cinematic Universe

• “WHERE’S THAT DAMN PAPERWORK?” followed by “PAPERWORK IS IN THE GROUP CHAT.” Paperwork doesn’t belong in a chat thread. That’s like hiding a fuel receipt in a random overhead bin.
  
  
• “WHAT TIME DID YOU REACH OUT?” / “DID YOU REACH OUT TO MORE PEOPLE?” Nothing accelerates a job like a vigorous audit of vibes.
  
  

Letters from the Field

• Whiteboard’s Goodbye: It’s not you, it’s the smudges. Please stop photographing me at 17° under fluorescent lights.
  
  
• Other Laptop’s Cameo: If your process requires a pilgrimage to a second computer, you don’t have a process—you have a scavenger hunt.
  
  

Group-Chat Museum (Featured Exhibits)

• “IT’S IN SOMEONE’S TEXT.” An exploration of trust in the age of emojis.
  
  
• “CAN YOU RESEND EVERYTHING?” Now with the right attachment, maybe.
  
  
• “PAPERWORK IS IN THE GROUP CHAT.” A horror installation. Do not bring children.
  
  

Parts & Patience

• “HAVE YOU ORDERED THE PARTS YET?” Once upon a time, someone clicked “Place Order” and the kingdom rejoiced.
  
  
• “THEY SAID WE HAVE TO WAIT 3 HOURS.” Not an estimate—a prophecy carved by a very tired vendor.
  
  

The Free Space, Spiritually The middle of your card says FREE SPACE because deep down we know: If it isn’t on the job thread, it didn’t happen. Put the story where the work lives and let Bingo be the joke—not the workflow.
