Cubicle Conundrum - Day 57

Q: I can't believe you're talking to Low Self-Esteem Guy.

N: Hey, he's here. Might as well use him.

Q: That's just wrong, N. You can't treat a human being like that.

N: (yawns)

Q: I think it's best if you stopped this before it gets out of control.

N: Let it go on for a little while. I'll stop later.

Q: I’m just saying that it’s not the right thing to do. You shouldn’t use him to build up your own sense of self-worth.

N: (Gesturing to Low Self-Esteem Guy as he walks past) Hey, I'd like you to meet Q. The one I told you about.

Q: (Reluctant polite grin)

Low Self-Esteem Guy: Q! Wow. You really seem like such an intelligent person from what N tells me. Your sense of morals and ethics coupled with your dedication to your job is something I can only aspire to remotely come close to some day. I’m positively ecstatic to finally have the chance to meet you! Oh what a wonderful day this is!



(Low Self-Esteem Guy leaves)



Q: ....

N: ....



Q: Well maybe we can talk to him for just a little while longer.

N: ‘We’?
