Swearing

The weirdest thing just happened at work.

One of the older staff members came over to me. She was leaving for the day and waved as she got up. So I called out a cheery good bye. She actually came over to me, right up to me, a grave look of concern on her face, patted my shoulder and asked Are you all right?

Huh? Erm. Yes? Perfectly fine? Very low call volume so I'm going through my blogroll and enjoying the (momentary) peace and quiet. Ensuing conversation?

Lady : You're very quiet right now. Are you sure you're OK?
Me : Yes. Yes! Just enjoying a peaceful moment.
Lady : Because you've been very quiet to-day....
Me : Really? But I've had a good day. Perhaps it's because I'm not swearing?

Now, I meant this last part as a joke. But - I kid thee not - she actually nods her head. And I think she's serious. She's a middle aged Eurasian woman so swearing is not new to her (us Eurasians live to be potty mouthed! lol) but......

Should I be happy that I have a distinct personality at work (slightly prickly if you're an idiot). Or should I be concerned that people recognise the swearing.


Ah well. Who gives a shit.
I have a three day weekend a'comin' up and I'm already in the holiday mood :)
