“Heyyyyyee, what’s up buddy! How have you been doing? I haven’t seen you during lunch this afternoon. Busy with work, huh. I’ll tell you what, this year’s appraisal is going to be so cool. Don't you believe me? Look!! Yep, straight from the horse’s mouth” he said leaning on my desk and I kept calm, lit-er-ally calm and kept saying to myself, “Now is not the time buddy, now is not the time”.
