ah, the plastic people....
my boss is pregant.
in case we missed the memo, i dislike babies, this also equates to pregancies, and being interested in anything to do with pregnancies and babies.
here is a convo with a co-worker as my boss was passing around the 1st ultrasound photos:
[9:18:29] me: umm..... [intrest, interest, interest]
[9:18:41] Him: exactly!
[9:18:48] me: [whimper]
[9:18:50] Him: politics = job security
[9:19:19] me: [sigh]. i'd be more interested if she was getting a new car
[9:19:23] me: or a bike.
[9:19:25] me: or a dog
[9:19:49] me: maybe a plant. maybe. i think plant and baby are on the same interest level for me
[9:20:00] Him: just pretend she is getting a dog
[9:20:03] Him: it's close enough
[9:20:08] me: lol
[9:20:20] Him: you can ask about the way they're decorating her "pen"
[9:20:38] Him: the colors, the wall paper
[9:20:44] Him: ask about names
[9:20:59] Him: and pretend to be highly interested in the "why" they chose the name
[9:21:14] Him: trust me, I got enough questions to keep you asking until the baby's born
[9:21:22] Him: and then from there it's the day to day questions
[9:22:30] me: (worried)
[9:22:43] me: (whimper)
[9:22:51] me: (cry)
[9:22:57] Him: yup, welcome to the school of "gift for gab"
[9:23:07] Him: today's lesson, pretend you're interested!
[9:23:23] Him: Monday's lesson: fake empathy!
[9:24:05] me: fake. that's the word they used against all the people who picked on me in high school. "you don't want to be like them" what happened to that lesson?
[9:26:04] Him: that was high school
[9:26:06] Him: this is business
[9:26:11] Him: two completely different....
[9:26:25] Him: yeah, welcome back to highschool
[9:26:34] Him: only this Hime you don't get suspended you get fired
[music starts playing in the background] "...put on a happy face...."
remember to smile everybody!
