10 AM Din

Kristin captured a really great moment in cube-land here.

As much as society loathes the invention of the cube, it does make for good comedy. You're visually isolated, but completely exposed audibly. It's situation comedy at its finest. I've gotten to the point where I know which coworker is approaching by their gait.

Anyway, here's a little banter from this morning to add to Kristin's post. If we keep this up, we will have one spectacular collection of "had to be there," moments.

Setting this scene: Amie has an apricot tree that just won't stop. All week she has brought bags and bags of apricots to work hoping the office will keep her from feeling like they aren't going to waste. Her coworkers got sick of them by Tuesday. Today is Friday, so clearly, Amie has determined that if she doesn't start hyping the apricots a little more, she will have to eat them all (a situation that probably deserves it's own blog post, likely to be titled: Apricots: too much of a good thing?)

10 o'clock am, cube-land:

Me: Do apricots have fat? They sure taste like they do.

Karl: No Amie. They don't.

Amie: Interesting. They taste so good, like they might have fat.

Sid: 100 grams of apricots has .39 grams of fat.

Amie: they do have fat!! how much is that? How many do I have to eat.

Sid: that is approximately 3 apricots. They also have Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, I don't know why you need that, Potassium, which is good for your heart, oh and selenium.

Amie: Selenium! that cures cancer! Wow, apricots are the wonder fruit.

Karl: I thought I was the wonder fruit.
