mornings will be kind
I work at two different places, doing two different jobs, for what is largely the same company. Monday through Wednesday, I work at the main office, doing things with the Web Development and Database teams. Thursday through Friday, I work at another office, about two miles away from the main office, basically as a “Tech Guy”. To put it simply, I would label the former as my job and the latter as my days off. Is that bad? Hmm…
Anywho! I’ve been working at my real work for a mere few months, and at that other place for about 3 years. During those past few months, I’ve gotten quite health-conscious, even though my environment has gotten increasingly….greasy. Everyday at my real work, my coworkers go out to eat for lunch, rarely thinking about health(most of them not needing to), and more about enjoyment. I, however, usually bring my lunch, and pass on the daily offer to join them.
Yesterday, one of my coworkers, let’s call him Jay, was particularly adamant. The conversation started out by him asking me if I would be joining them for lunch that day. I shook my head, and gave my usual “no”. It was getting fairly late at that point, and so he asked, “Did you already eat lunch?” Again, I said “No.” He kept asking questions, ironically enough. “Did you bring your lunch?” I said “Yep.” His thirst for knowledge apparently was not satiated, as he asked his penultimate question. “What’d ya bring?” I shrugged, and said “Oh, i just brought some fruit, I’m not very hungry today.” And that’s when the final question of the day came, as he turned to the side, and fake-whispered to me:
“IS IT BECAUSE YOU ATE TOO MUCH PUSSY LAST NIGHT?”
My eyes widened as i chuckled and turned back to my computer, trying desperately, nervously to find something to do. My mind was running a thousand different thoughts at this point, all of which he threw away as he said his last words to me for the day.
“You know, I made a split-second decision there. I could have went either way with that, but I decided I didn’t know you well enough.”
No you don’t Jay, haha. No, you don’t. 2 years ago
