Not so much a brain burp as just plain WTF??
There is a woman at my work who I will call S. S is a bit weird. She is late 40’s early 50’s, a bit rough looking and is capable of chain smoking at least a dozen cigs on a 10 min break. I don’t have a lot a dealings with her directly as we work in different areas, but I have always found her a little “unusual” (she sets off my weird-O-meter) Not to mention the fact that she smells like something died in her hair. (possibly due to the afore mentioned chain smoking)
Anyway – every now and then she will wander down to our area and start rambling on some abstract topic of piece of gossip she has. I just smile nod, make the occasional grunt and she eventually goes away.
Yesterday she comes down looking for my boss:
S: Where’s Gus? (not his real name)
Me: He’s on leave for another week. Can I help you?
S: Did you know the Tax Office is chasing me?
Me: ?????? Huh?
S: I haven’t paid tax in 15 years. They’re chasing me for it. They even bugged my phones
Me: ??????
S: My son died 10 years ago and I got a lot of charity donations and they’re chasing me about them
Me: Um…..???????
S wanders away back upstairs…….
I’m still trying to figure that one out…….
