Overheard at Work #4

The office was abuzz this morning after the Kanye West-Taylor Swift debacle at last night's MTV Video Music Awards (and rightly so! Who picks on a teenager like that?), and my coworker pops into my office saying, "Hey, you would know this. What does 'keeping it real' mean?"

I'm a little bemused as to why I'd be so likely to know this, and a little sad to say I honestly have no idea what it means. Ideas, readers?

Overheard at Work #3

From the kitchen, I hear two people collide. Startled, one of them says:

"Well, I guess now I don't need to worry about retirement. You just scared me to death!"
