A Little Miscommunication at Work

I don’t think I mentioned this but, because of the workload, they hired another Project Manager and another WAN administrator. Not that I’m working full time or anything (do I sound bitter?)

Anyway, they are tearing down the cubicles in Suite Y to re-use them in B73. So, Don and I had to move. I am now sharing (and I don’t do that well) a cubicle with the new Project Manager, Robin.

So, I was working away on something or another and, out of the blue, she asked me, “Do you like tongue?”

Now, that seemed like one of those questions that, if answered wrong, you would end up in Human Resources for either counseling or termination. On the other hand, I don’t want to look like a fuddy-duddy, either. She’s got to be at least half my age! Is she really hitting on me?

So, I carefully said, “Well, yes, I suppose I like tongue. Why do you ask?”

She said, “I was in a deli yesterday and one of the sandwiches was pickled tongue and I wondered what it tasted like.”

I couldn’t help myself. I burst out laughing! She looked at me like I was crazy until I said, “You have NO idea how far away from your question I was!”

She thought for a moment and then burst out laughing, too.
