Silver Linings

I've been a busy bee at work! The other day, while we were all working on a particularly grueling set of drawings, my coworker turned to me and asked if I was having fun. "Not really." I said. She tilted her head thoughtfully and replied "Well, think about it this way. At least you didn't apply to a waitressing job only to find out that the job was fake and you were actually going to be forced into sex slavery. Hmmm?"

I guess when you look at it that way, things don't look so bad after all. Thanks, weird coworker.

Maybe your coworker reads Metafilter

Does not absolve the weirdness, of course, but it would at least provide a convenient label of mefite for use at a later time.

I am embarrassed to say it took me a while to figure out what a "mefite" was. I was hoping it was a French word for "weird coworker." LE SIGH.
