Hi.
So I went to get a soda this morning, and on the way back to the office, decided to stop in the men's room. Our office is two floors of a building downtown. I am in the upper floor's bathroom. I am at the urinal when another person comes in next to me.
I don't recognize him. As far as I know, we don't have any visitors in here, and we just hired two new Associates; he must be one of them.
He looked about 32 years old, 25 pounds oveweight, polyester shirt, typical office flunkie. As we are close in age, he finds some comfort with me and starts chatting.
Eventually he asks me "what unit do you work with?" Now I finally gather that he is definitely a new guy. I am uncertain as to how to answer because I have a prominent role here; I don't want to seem like an arrogant asshole...there will be time for that...but I need to answer him.
So I just go with the truth. "I'm in the office of the chairman. We do some strategic stuff and marketing".
He was taken aback, sort of readjusted himself at the urinal, and muttered "Oh". He had that look of "did I just make a bad impression?" (People are so nuts. As if I care.) And he continued "I work in the incoming calls / customer relationship unit. I said, "Oh you work for so-and-so. She's great"
Anyway, I walked away and washed my hands. When he turned around, he had a stream of piss across his thigh - I guess he was nervous.
Poor guy. Glad to have you on board.
