Workplace Exchange

Picture me, sitting at my desk with my back to the door.
I was reading Mashable, if you must know.

I sense rather than hear that someone has entered my office, so I look up as CC is creeping up to scare me.

CC: Oh, I was going to scare you.

Me: I don't enjoyed being scared, FYI.

CC: Yeah, me either.

Me: I mean, I don't watch horror movies or war documentaries or films with too much suspense, it doesn't feel good.

CC: Really, what do you watch?

Me: Romantic comedies, mostly. Except for the ones that contain scenes where one character snoops through the other's stuff, that sh*t stresses me out.

CC: (laughs a little) What's wrong with you?

Me: I have overactive empathy.

CC: How do you even survive being in this world?

Me: I'm vegan.

CC: God this conversation sounds like movie dialogue.

(pause)

CC: Does being vegan even help?

Me: Yeah, but you have to remember to take your B12.

CC: What's up with all these bullfighting pictures?

Me: (wanders out of the room)
