Work Follies, Part One Thousand or so.
So, one co-worker was telling me about a commercial she saw for some brand of camera. The commercial features Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith, and a bunch of women, and so on. The co-worker listening in instead of doing that pesky thing called 'work,' chimed in.
Nosy Co-worker: Steven Tyler? I saw that one, and didn't know who he was.
Other co-Worker: Oh, him? He's from Aerosmith.
Nosy Co-worker: What does that mean? Does he make arrows or something?
At this point, I got up and walked away from my desk before I said something well and truly sardonic. But, I should thank Nosy, because I think her little statement caused my IQ to jump up ten points in comparison.
