Testing of an old old theory

When I got my first job way back when, one of my friend came up to me and share this little gem.

“You will find the worst co-worker that you have be a Christian”

After all these years, I am not sure if it is true of not (very, probably like most things, some truth/not all wrong), but this episode happen just last week.

I was walking down the hallway in the company when this lady came up to me and ask,

“Are you going to **** church?”

“Yeah!” I said

“Ah! Someone told me that he/she saw you there.”

“I have been attending that church for a long time, so yeah” I reply

“Do you know that we have prayer meeting very Tuesday at lunch, do you know about it?”

“Yeah I heard about it.” I said

“Yeah, if you have time, please come and join us. Mostly those people from graphic
department and I will be there, but sometime Mr. A and Mr. B will come join us too.”

“I will see about it, if I have time I will come, yeah.” I declared

“Yeah!”

At this point I sort of say bye and go straight into the man’s bathroom because:

a) I am going to the washroom to start with,

b) I am just making sure the conversation end.

Let me clear up some thing:

a) We sure like to use say “yeah” a lot, so what, yeah,

b) The prayer meeting exists for a long time now, as far as a know, it is there way before I work in the company,

c) “The graphic people” knows about me as a Christian for a long time now. I have actually talk about church and stuff with their supervisor for more than enough occasions, and I am 100% sure that he attends the prayer meeting,

d) I never went because they never ask me to,

e) The most relevant point is, Mr. B. Let just say that no one in the company has any good to say about him, he is, shall I say, a dick.

So there you have it, maybe this little episode confirms my friend’s theory, and maybe it doesn’t. It in most likely, lie right in the middle of it, boring.


Have fun
