From the sublime to the ridiculous

TIME IN CANADA

June 18th, 2003 Posted in Uncategorized

So there I was, sat at my desk, frowning because I was concentrating so hard on the spreadsheet I had just created. The lady at the desk next to me let out a big sigh. I looked over. Mistake.

“Here’s a picture of my cat” she said, and handed over a photo of a grey tabby. I didn’t really know what to say “he’s lovely, although a bit fat” I replied. “Yes, I know” she said, taking the photo back and staring at it once more, “I must feed him too much. I’ve made him fat, he was thin before. A bit like my boyfriend, I’ve made him fat too. Still, makes me look thin I suppose”. I didn’t know where to look, so I glanced back at my screen and hoped that was the end of the conversation.

Out of the corner of my eye, I then saw her put one elbow on the table and rest her jaw on her open hand. Her eyes flicked up to the ceiling, she tutted and said “I wonder what the time is in Canada”.

It was so odd that I was in stitches for ages.

    well if you were guessing, you should have punctuated properly and ended with a question mark.
