Sorry, can’t help ya, I’m reading…
Just when you think — again — that you’ve misjudged someone, they remind you that you were right all along. Or maybe my sense of humour is too different from theirs.
Today as I was eating my lunch and reading Duma Key (S. King) one of the nice co-workers noticed that I’d read a lot since yesterday (yup, I started reading before bedtime and suddenly noticed it was wayyy past my bedtime). The annoying one made a comment that I’m probably reading secretly in my cubicle. I replied, “yeah, I’m known to be such a lazy and slow one.”
Accusing me of reading on company time? Unbelievable.
What an asshole. I hate people like that. And they usually make their snide remarks in a joking way so that way you can seem like the one whose got a problem if you say something and they can make like it was a joke.
What I don’t understand is why. What did I do to make her start throwing those remarks at me? Am I too young? Should I be a tech guy?
Luckily it’s not constant and of course I have no way of knowing if other people are getting their share of them. It just baffles me.
How annoying! But apparently some people are just absolutely blind to how their remarks sound. Then again, some people are so devilishly clever that they keep doing exactly what Jafer says… *Sigh*
