(I know I should be prepared for this every damn day but I got blindsided this morning!)
"Wanna see my new ______" she says in almost baby talk.
NO! NO I DON'T! I don't give a Parexocoetus bracypterus (look it up! :P) about your damn purchase!!! WHAT ARE WE??? 6 YEARS OLD???
What I actually said: "Oh cool".
Which lead into the saga of how she got them. "You remember I was online yesterday? Well I went to one store which is in [somewhere north]. It's at [intersection]. Well actually its just south of [street Y]. So I went there first and tried on the size they had and it didn't fit and I was really bummed and then I saw a box and it had my size and I thought... blah blah blah blah blah"
I zoned out after "You remember..." but had to feign interest. I blame the rest of the department for being interested in her banality, thus she feels everyone is. And of course we're all alone today and instead of getting the mountains of work I have to do done, I'm here venting!!!! GAH!!!!
I feel a stress related sick day coming on.
BTW: the purchase was kind of age inappropriate, trendy and not my style -- but that's just typical officemate.
I actually long for the days when I dont' have anyone else to support and can spend money every pay day willy nilly too.
For those of you who didn't look it up! :)
