coffee talk

super: "did you go to coffee talk?"

chi: "no. i don't drink coffee."

looking confounded and frustrated, supervisor walks away. subordinate snickers. five seconds later, supervisor returns to subordinate's cubicle area.

super: "you know it's not about the coffee, right? you should go to these kinds of things."

i really like my new supervisor. i can't understand him half of the time, and he has no idea where i am coming from. but three weeks ago, after months of mild intimidation and minor offenses, i finally figured out that he really does mean well.
