I’m sitting in one of my teammate’s cube at work, a young lady with a satirical sense of humor. I am trying to show her something on the Internet on her tablet. The site is not coming up nicely.
She says to me with laughter in her voice, “Having a hard time getting it up?”
I reply, “Not yet.” Later I wished I had been quicker of wit and said, “Oh my God, who told you,” and buried my face in my hands.
Looking down her nose and across the top of her glasses she mockingly replies to this workplace appropriate exchange with, “You need to take that home.”
I was telling Robin about it later and she commented, “Well she started it, but her final remark was perfect and priceless.”
All of which reminds me of the Toby Keith song:
I ain’t as good as I once was
But I’m as good once as I ever was
To which Robin replied, “Amen.”
