(I’m standing outside having a smoke. A coworker of several years walks up and lights up.)
Coworker: “Hey. How you doing?”
Me: “Yeah. Been better.”
Coworker: “Oh, it’s not that bad. You’ve been such a misery lately.”
Me: “Well, I—”
Coworker: “Cheer up, man. It’s not that bad!”
Me: “You’re probably right.”
(I finish my smoke and walk away. Instead of heading into the building I walk past the doors and to the exit.)
Coworker: “Hey! Where are you going?”
Me: “I’m being made redundant.”
Coworker: “Since when?”
Me: “Oh, about 15 minutes ago. Catch you around…”
