Conversations at Work: Volume II
My coworkers and I are celebrating the holiday season by participating in a secret gift exchange with each other. The following lunchtime conversation took place earlier this week.
Thinking Fool: I think our boss' secretary drew your name for the Secret Santa thing.
Coworker #1: Oh no. That's terrible. She'll probably end up giving me a crucifix.
Thinking Fool: Why would that be so bad?
Coworker #1: I'm Jewish.
Thinking Fool: I know. But shouldn’t a crucifix serve as a reminder of a day when your people were extraordinarily giddy?
Coworker #1: I hate you.
Yes, I'd say things continue to be going quite well.
