Cubicle Conundrum - Day 37

Q: I think I’m going to go on vacation.

N: Uh huh. Okay.



Q: Well my travel agent had a nice package available for a vacation to South Hocsein.

N: Hmm.



Q: Yeah. I’ll be put up in a hotel called ‘Lime Honk Inn’.

N: Uh huh. Okay.



Q: It shouldn’t be expensive either.

N: Hmm.



Q: You’re not even listening, are you?

N: Uh huh. Okay.



Q: You’re humoring me by responding only to the audibility of my voice and not to the content of my speech, right?

N: Hmm.



Q: Predefined sequence of responses? Which means you will say ‘Uh huh. Okay’.

N: Uh huh. Okay.



Q: So you’re really not listening and now you’ll say ‘Hmm’.

N: Hmm.



Q: Would you go on record and agree with me if I said I’m much more talented and deserving of recognition than you?

N: Only if ‘talented’ implies ‘devoid of creativity’ and ‘recognition’ implies ‘getting fired’.



Q: …

N: …



Q: Oh sure. Now you hear me. Well anyway I’m going on vacation.

N: Uh huh. Okay.



Q: Die.
