Two Conversations at the Office

Early This Morning

Me: I am not having a good technology week.
J: Oh? What happened?
Me: [assorted kvetching about all the stuff I wrote about yesterday and about having my mouse not working correctly this morning and having to reboot the computer a few times to fix it]
J: It sounds like you just need to reset your life.

Late This Afternoon

K (to T): Are you bringing your girlfriend to our holiday party?
T: No, she has to work.
Me: It's bad for relationships to go to work-related social events anyway.
S: Maybe if you didn't sleep with everyone in the office ...


See what I have to put up with.
