Actual Conversations From My Recent Business Trip

CONVERSATION ONE

Coworker sitting a few feet away is talking to someone sitting across the table from her, and also to me. I cannot really hear her since there is someone sitting between us, but I nod. Suddenly she turns and asks me what I think.

Me: Oh, I’m sorry, I wasn’t really listening. I just had my interested face on.

CONVERSATION TWO

Boss is greeting us as we walk into the meeting. He asks all of us how we slept (in the hotel).

Instead of saying “fine” or even “good,” I say, “Well, I have this thing about bedbugs.”
