I don't talk about work much on here, because it's usually pretty frustrating and I don't like to live it twice. But, every now and then, it's amusing. In case I haven't mentioned it before, I'm the youngest employee in the division... and the NEXT youngest is 52. So. The following conversation occured this morning between the senior HR specialist and the two women who do HR support. I thought it was pretty funny.
Mary: What is that?
Brian: Herbal tea.
Mary: It smells like weed.
Brian: How would you know?
Mary: I have some growing in my backyard. Can’t get rid of ‘em fast enough.
Brian: [laughing] Oh really? So is THAT how you could afford that new car?
Lorrie: Haha, Mary has a side business!
Mary: What?
Lorrie: How much do you charge?
Mary: For what?
Brian: Weed.
Mary: Wait, who’s buying weeds? I’m confused.
Lorrie: Pot, honey.
Mary: Of tea?
Lorrie: She’s not a very savvy dealer, is she?
Mary: What?
Brian: Marijuana. Cannabis. Pot. Weed.
Mary: DRUGS?!?
Brian: [laughing] You said my tea smelled like weed!
Mary: [horrified] WEEDS! Plural! That grow in your yard!
Lorrie: [laughing] That’s okay honey, we get it. Besides, weed doesn’t smell like that anyway.
Brian: Uh oh.
Mary: [defensive] Well *I* wouldn’t know.
Lorrie: [shrugging] Hey, I was in college once. That’s not what it smells like. Is it, Leah?
Me: What?
Lorrie: Exactly. Leah and I know what’s up.
Mary: What is that?
Brian: Herbal tea.
Mary: It smells like weed.
Brian: How would you know?
Mary: I have some growing in my backyard. Can’t get rid of ‘em fast enough.
