Did you ever have someone tell you something completely unexpected, which they must have just assumed you already know, and then you have to struggle to maintain your composure, so as not to make a big deal out of it? We have a facilities guy here who is actually an adorably sweet young boy. One day when going through some old files in my desk, I found a list of employees birthdates on it and was amused to discover he was born in 1980. 1980!! Ha ha! He's a baby! Anyway, he's just a very nice kid - always ready to lift a heavy box or remove a deceased fish from the tank. This morning, he and I were exchanging pleasantries and I asked him if he had done anything fun over the weekend. My jaw nearly dropped to the floor when he said "Well yeah actually. I had my daughter this weekend and we went to the park." Um, what??? He has a
daughter??? What a shocker that was.
