Just a drinker with a keyboard. Let's see what happens.

Awkward office conversation #2

Woman trying to promote her party that I won’t be going to: Yeah, it’s a lounge, with two levels.

Me: (stirring coffee) Sounds cool. Is it your birthday?

Woman trying to promote her party that I won’t be going to: No, it’s just something I wound up getting involved in. It’s just a party. The theme is “Celebrating Cancers”.

Me: (no longer looking for a coffee lid because, WTF?) “Celebrating Cancer?”

Woman trying to promote her party that I won’t be going to: Yup, you know it’s 4th of July weekend and all that. It’ll be fun, you should come.

Me: (fortunately, the wheels have turned long enough to figure out that they’re not actually celebrating the disease cancer, because holy hell, that would awful, but the astrological sign Cancer, which must be around that date, kinda. Not much into the astrology because it’s fake and all, but knows enough to know that Aries are supposedly stubborn and difficult to be in relationships with [whatever]and Cancer is some sort of crab or lobster. Lobster. Mmmm. Ever eat a whole lobster? Incredible! Although it makes farting quite dangerous. Anyway, they’re not awful people celebrating cancer.) Uh, I’ll have to check the old calendar…
