Awww come on.....

Have you ever had that person that picks a totally inappropriate time to have a rather heated discussion with you, doesn't get that your trying to back out of the door and just keeps going?

Oh boy did that happen to me today.

Here I am walking to the work kitchen to clean my lunch plate and make a nice hot cup of tea and there is one of the managers fixing her lunch.

I know what you're thinking, this is the time for that light banter.

How was the footie?
Why are you wearing such cool gumboots?
How was your Easter break?

But no, it's the time to have a conversation, directed to manipulate, control and make the other person so uncomfortable that they are back out the kitchen doorway and running quickly back to their desk.

I never know what people are thinking when the do something like this in such a public place.  

All I know is that I have revised my view of the manager involved and will be checking very carefully, from now on, who is in the kitchen before walking in.
