Just a slice of random...
Apr. 24th, 2009 04:43 pmLJ just ate my entry! Darn it!
So today is the last Friday of spring term, and I am covering a friend's shift in the computer lab. The place is deserted, as it is a sunny Friday afternoon and everyone with exams left to write is probably goofing off frolicking in the sun.
Colour me surprised when a lady pops in, looking for Professor McSo-and-so. The department office downstairs told her to come up here, so I head off with her in the direction of the offices.
All of a sudden she turns to me and asks urgently, "Are you pregnant?"
"Oh! Uh, no, I'm not pregnant..."
"You don't LOOK pregnant," she assures me, "But with that dress, I was wondering 'is she just starting to be pregnant?'"
I look down at my empire-waisted dress and wonder if it qualifies as maternity wear. I decide this lady is wacky.
"Well, no, no pregnancy here," I say.
"Alright. I was asking because there's some gasses down that hallway... I could smell something earlier."
Let's just say I kind of skipped manically back to the lab in delight at the sheer oddness.
... What a way to end the school year.
