Him: Hey, have you got a second to answer a question? I know it isn’t really something that is your job, but you seem to always have all the answers.
Me: Sure, what’s up?
Him: I need to send a ticket to Engineering, but I can’t find them in our ticketing system.
Me: They aren’t in our ticketing system. You can just call or email.
Him: They told me to send a ticket!
Me: Uh. Not that I know of! We always just call their admin.
Him: It was their admin who said I should transfer a ticket over to them. Thanks for your help. You know everything.
Me: Well, at least my lack of help was helpful.
Him: And you always have such a pretty smile–I can see your smile even through IM.
Me: No way. I am frowning. Hard.
Him: Nope. Smiling.
Me: Damn. Caught in a lie again.
5 minutes go by. He shows up in my cube. I hear “hey” and turn around.
Him: See? I knew you were smiling!
Me: It’s a lying, deceitful sort of smile though.
Him: That is the most best kind!
And then I start laughing.
As usual.
I wonder if anyone laughs more at work than I do?
