met my head of department in the kitchen while grabbing a cup of coffee. Since the difference in levels between the HoD and me (pee wee engineer) is somewhat akin to a plankton to a whale, I'm normally inclined to tiptoe around him.
unfortunately, he spotted me and small talk was inevitable. Even though i was actually fighting the irrestible urge to fall prostate in reverent awe, some conversation was managed (as per the following):
Him: "Did you make the coffee?"
Me: "No" (wondering what this would lead to)
Him: "oh. good. else its too strong"
My immediate reply would normally be "there is no strong coffee. There are only wimpy coffee drinkers", but some instinctive self-preservation instinct helped me to hold back from an early demise..
Here's something which is bugging me now - how did he know that i make the strong coffees? Did my reputation go before me.. again?
