This Is Why People Have Stopped Talking to Me at Work
A couple of co-workers came into my Dungeon of Doom work area this morning.
Me: Hey! You shaved!
Astounded and Clean Shaven Co-Worker: Yeah, about a week ago. You talked to me at staff meeting this week, remember? About MacWorld next week?
Me: Oh yeah, the iPhone stuff. Right. [lengthly re-cap of everything I said about the coming iPhone SDK thankfully omitted.]
Other Co-Worker: Does your chin feel naked now?
ACSCW: Yeah, it does! But I have my Dad’s chin, so I don’t feel it.
Me: You have your Dad’s chin?! You stole his chin? What’s he doing for a chin now? How does he make that “Hmmm, I’m thinking now” gesture? How does he chew his food?!
And then they wandered off.
Annnnnd.... Scene!

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
