Curiousity Fails to Kill the Cat
Me: Did you ever get an answer to [question sent to X. last week]?
Him: No, I haven’t gotten the answer yet. I brought it up during the meeting, and X. said to get with her afterward to discuss it (she had dialed in). I planned on getting with her Friday morning, but she was out and I had to leave early anyway. I’ll follow up with her today (Monday).
Me: I’m curious about her answer, so if you could please pass it along when you find out, I’d appreciate it.
Him: No problemo! But I just found out from Y. that X. won’t be in today, either.
Me: The suspense is killing me.
Him: OK but at least TRY to contain your enthusiasm; you’re making the rest of us look bad.
Me: I tried to contain myself, but I escaped.
