The Scoff

When a teammate of mine walked into the conference room today, she asked me what I was looking at out the window. I replied that the buildings near ours are really pretty, but it's hard to tell from the ground sometimes. Occasionally I do just walk around and stare up at them during lunch, though. "You walk around facing up?" she scoffed. "Like a tourist?"

I looked at her and said, "I hope I never stop looking up."

True story. She really did say this, as a real-life example of what I was blabbering on about in The Nap. And yes, I am this corny in everyday life.
