Paul (Poblador) and I were talking yesterday about things in the office. Career plans and office issues. We were talking so seriously because the matter at hand were significant topics. And in English, it was challenging enough that the discussion had a serious tone to it without having to speak in English (If you knew Paul, you'd know what I mean). Halfway through the conversation, Alex (sitting next to Paul's workstation) called me, dangled a big pack of Jellyace and asked if I wanted some. Sure enough, I stopped in mid sentence, hurried over saying "yes I do, I do, can I have 3?". Alex suddenly commented, "now I can ask Paul something".
I paused as I was peeling the lid off of my pink little Jellyace, "WHAT!?". I looked back at what happened. It seemed that Alex not knowing where to butt into the our conversation (to ask Paul something unimportant I bet!! Just kidding) baited me with Jellyace to stop me from talking. And it worked?!?! Wow that ploy was brilliant!
Why do I feel like the fish who bit the hook?
