File this one under "Conversations at Work that Probably Reveal Too Much About Your Weekend Habits, When I Was Just Asking for Some General Information, Maybe a Story About Your Family Or, Even Your Hopes and Dreams":
He: What's up? What's going on? Kids wearing you out?
Me: Oh, I'm ready for the weekend. I'm always surprised at the drama that can happen in the space of three days.
He: Yeah.
Me: Anything new with you?
He: I just can't wait for the weekend: to get drunk and sleep.
Me: [Polite laughter]
He: Kind of a light-weight, though. It only takes me three beers.
Me: [More polite laughter, slightly turning around in my chair to the recycling bin under my desk.]
He: Yeah, I used to be able to drink more, but not now.
Me: ...
Me: ...Well, see you tomorrow.
