That awkward moment someone writes you an email that starts with:
“Zero, I’m rather disgusted with…”
And you find your body tensing — while you hold your breath — because you are fully expecting it to end with:
“you” or “your post from earlier today” or any number of ways in which it could go poorly —
But instead, it ends with: “the system, too”
And you find yourself letting out of huge a sigh of relief. And now smiling, unexpectedly, because it was just someone agreeing with you.
Phew!
That’s like starting a conversation with “We need to talk!”
Don’t ever do that unless it’s bad. Because even if it’s good, I am totally on the other end of the spectrum when you start speaking.
“We need to talk…”
“Uh…”
“We won the lottery!”
“I’M SORRY!” … “Wait.” … “Wut?”
