[a Polski Fiat 125p for your time] At lunch today we got talking about boa constrictors and how to get away. I jokingly said that it would be handy to have laser vision, or to just carry a knife with you at all times to behead it, or to get surgically implanted wolverine claws. A coworker laughed, then preceded to tell me how none of my ideas are feasible in reality. -_-. Well, obviously....
After that, I changed my approach, I was going to be realistic. I said “they arn’t very fast” and then the coworker immediately shoots me down again..... because they are fast? Yeah....
After that I went into quiet mode. I hate pointless arguments, and I didn’t want to get riled up for something as dumb as this.
Anyways, live and laugh oppo. Humor in the workplace is nice because it breaks the monotony. And if someone is being humorous, just roll with it. Sometimes the dumb jokes are the best ones.

Some people just have to be right all the time. It’s best to avoid these types whenever possible. Have lunch at your desk and Oppo.

Humorless co-workers? Do you work with engineers by chance?

That’s hard to do because I love watching Family Feud during lunch. Two episodes, on GSN, 12am to 1pm, with Steve Harvey as host? How could I resist?! I actually hate game shows, but this one is that good. :D

No, a IT company, though I’m not sure what her job title is. Work decided to group us by our titles, so I sit with the other application developers.

Engineers are funnier than you would think. Shit I have to work with geologists and scientists day in and day out some of it is bound to rub off.

I love pointless arguments. I would have gone back and forth about laser vision and how to get something surgically implanted. Love, love, love conversations with dumb people who think I’m being serious.

I would have doubled down and make stuff up about NASA laser beams and retractable claws.
