Actual conversation at work today.


I’m sitting at my desk, catching up on mountains of paperwork accumulated over my vacation when strange-newhire-restaurant-prepcook walks over.

SNRP: Hey Kell! How was your vacation?! You look tan, did you have a good time?
Me: :D Hellsyeah. It was fantastic.
SNRP: Did you go to that wine bar I was telling you about!?! (SNRP is obnoxiously enthusiastic ALL THE TIME.)

*Note: SNRP is somewhat of a compulsive liar who always has some relevant yet obscure ‘knowledge’ that will one-up whatever you might have said. Whilst smoking one day outside, I was explaining to my coworker that I was stacking up quite a collection of wine bottles and might even become a wine snob by default as I refuse to have two of the same bottles for aesthetic purposes. SNRP then jumped in to our conversation exclaiming the best wine was the kind he made- with hemp and hops. It was so good and so popular that a bar in Thunderbay bought cases upon cases of it.*

Me: Erm... Hun, that was in Thunderbay. I was in Montreal.
SNRP: And..?! Come on Kell! That’s your excuse?!?! It’s only like 2 hours away!
:-o <-- br="br" me="me">Me: Uhm... no. It’s not.
SNRP: Oh yeahyeah! Sure, that’s right- I was thinking of Manitoba! Manitoba’s the second largest city in Canada! Rightright- I knew that!
:-o <-- br="br" me="me">Me: Wha..? Do you mean... are you seri- you know what? Nevermind.

I let him babble on for another minute or two then walk away...
My Canadian pride was a little offended.
It would have been gratifying to throw some Tim Hortons on him.
