typical Monday-esque conversation
i went into the executive kitchen to pour myself *another* coffee
this morning and ran into the CEO's admin assistant (AA) and the executive floor receptionist (EFR). this was pretty funny.EFR: So did you have a good weekend?
AA: Yup. But it wasn't long enough. It's never long enough.
EFR: I think it should be flipped around.
Me: What? 5-day weekend, 2-day work week?
EFR: Yes!
AA: The work week would still be too long.
Me: Let's just say in my old age, I've come to regret saying "I don't want to be a trophy wife."
AA: Well, you know, you can still do that.
Me: Oh, I'm getting too old for that. These days, the average age for trophy wives is ~17.
AA: You look about that age.
Me: Maybe, but believe me... I'm so *not* 17.
AA: Just don't tell anyone how old you really are. You're only like 22, right?
Me: faux laugh Sure. Let's say that.
I've been in the company 6 years and I have a university degree. Does she *really* think I'm 22? Who does she think I am? Doogie Howser?
Gawd... I need more coffee.
