tales from the cube:
co-slacker A: have you seen J today?
me: i haven't... actually, i haven't talked to her since last week!
a: is she still on vacation?
me: i'm not sure. i didn't know she was on vacation!
a: ...because, i thought she was due back today.
me: i dunno.
a: do you know if she is sick?
me: i dunno. haven't talked to her since last week.
a: well, she was going out of the country, and i just wondered if she made it back and how everything went...
me: no idea.
a: is today the 9th? i'm pretty positive she was supposed to be back today.
DUDE! wtf??? HONESTLY! do you speak english? did you hear me say i didn't know? and that i haven't talked to her? maybe you should try to call her! call her kid! report her as a missing person! i don't care! just give it a rest!
