Am I an asshole today?
Does the following interaction in the break room at work make me a dick?
3:30 pm. My boss’s admin and I trade pleasant hellos as she cleans her lunchbox and I make myself a coffee.
My boss’s admin: (sighs loudly, twice. Getting no response…) Long day. Long weekend, really.
Me: oh, sorry to hear that.
Her: yeah, well, it got off to a bad start.
Me: …
I remember she was out sick or something on friday, and then I make a very conscious decision NOT to ask her what she means by that. Because honestly, I do not care.
Awkward silence ensues as I wait for my coffee and she leaves.
Am I a dick?
