Our receptionist, a geeky know-it-all who is not very well liked by a large majority of the office staff, was eavesdropping on the balcony above cubefarmland today…
And, boy did she get an EARFUL!
The office gossip/loudmouth, who resides a few cubes down from me, was talking SERIOUS SMACK about her. Loudly. And she kept going, and going, and going…
I was only half-listening– and definitely NOT participating. I mean, c’mon– Hello?!… BALCONY ABOVE!
Not sure how long the receptionist had been up there listening, but apparently long enough to work up a temper…
Imagine everyone’s surprise when she leans over the balcony and screams, “HEY, I CAN HEAR YOU!”
** momentary silence **
And then, a very loud voice from somewhere deep in central cubefarmland replies, “YEAH? SO WHAT!”
** ERUPTION OF LAUGHTER **
Unfortunately, something tells me the big boss will be calling a meeting tomorrow…
(so glad I was minding my own beeswax)
LMAO.
great comeback.
