Reasons I love my co-workers

I have some great co-workers. They are one of the main reasons that auditing is a lot of fun for me. The following is just a clip of some comments that they've made in the last few weeks that have brought a smile to my face...(oddly, most have to do with relationships, and they don't all apply to me. We just have a lot of women in the office.)

• "I like to torture guys. It's like a hobby (sort of). Some are easier to upset than others. I just like to see them upset."
• "After I broke up with my boyfriend of four years I didn't want to tell my family. Instead I bought two kittens. This tipped my sister off to the break up, and she told my mom. But honestly. You get enough kittens and it's just like having a boyfriend."
• "You know, you had such a large finding pool in college and now it's a lot smaller. In light of that and your education, I think your probability of getting married is around age 28. (She was informed that age 28 comes in six months)....Oh....well, in that case....maybe 35."
• I passed a co-worker and told her my fingers were crossed for her. "Did you just flip me off?" (Apparently, when you do it super fast walking by, this can be misconstrued.)
• From a co-worker who doesn't normally see me drinking soda (which I don't normally do) at work: "Emily! Is that BEER you're drinking?" (She knows I'm Mormon, so it was all the funnier. Oh. And for the record, Beer is not allowed in our office. At least, I think.)
• My co-workers recommendation to me when I mentioned that giving people high-fives sometimes hurts my wrists: "Oh. Just stick your tongue out like a lizard really quick. It takes less energy anyway."

Seriously. Sometimes my work life is so random.
