Today at work one of my co-workers came up to grab a newspaper right next to me. She asked me how I was doing. "I'm good, how are you?" I replied. "good, I get to go home..." "oh, well you're doing better than me then..." I said back, knowing that for some reason people love cheesy replies like that. Then, randomly she asks, "What else do you do? do you go to school?" As if I had to have a full, hectic life in order to have a vaild excuse as to want to work. "Oh no I don't have school" then without missing a beat she replies "you should really go to school" [a deep inner groan can be inserted here] Not wanting to explain everything I just said "yeah... I'm just taking the semester off" Her: "Oh... yeah school can be hard" Me: "yep."and then she proceeds into a 5 minute one-sided conversation about how important school is and that nowadays you can't do anything without going to school. I just nod. Ugh, FML. It was honestly the last thing I wanted to hear this week. I have now decided that from now on I'm just going to lie anytime someone asks me, it will be so much easier.
