A day at the call center...

"Today I sat down at a computer and I picked my nose. I could see the reflection of my finger reaching deep into my nostril in the monitor. A co-worker tapped me on the shoulder to inform me of the new gossip of the day. Before he finished another co-worker yelled out to him. He turned around and in a sweeping motion, like the Karate Kid waxing on and waxing off, I wiped it on his right shoulder. I laughed to myself all day as I saw this co-worker socializing and discussing with other co-workers with the same piece of booger on his right shoulder. As he works, I see him focus on his job as I see the piece of booger hanging and shimmering in the fluorescent lighting of the call center. Does anyone notice? Will anyone find out? Will this affect his life forever? Will he get stares on his way home in the metro? Will that booger survive until tomorrow? Will it become one with its owner?"

As recounted to me by Marc Joyette

See?! This is why I need to get away!!!
