Willing To Leave Over A Cup Of Coffee

(I recently took up an IT position at a school. As the previous guy left due to a family emergency, they had to advertise the job as temporary to get by to the end of the year. To keep the job for next year, I have to reapply. The job has been advertised in the local newspaper and a few of the other staff have noticed and been asking if it’s because I’m leaving.)

Me: *getting up from the lunch table while talking to a Coworker #1*

Coworker #2: “Are you leaving us, [My Name]?”

Me: “No… I’m just getting coffee. I’ll be back in a second.”

(Turned out she meant the job advertisement.)
