cblj_backupAwkward Coworker: I have a question for you.
Sam: Shoot.

Now, most of the actual business-of-work that he and I talk about centers around either the database we use or Things I Know About The Building That He Doesn't. So I was in no way expecting:
Awkward Coworker: ...the deal with quinoa?
Bless his heart. That's the first time I've laughed in days.
(For the record, he discovered you can't use quinoa in place of couscous, and I informed him that quinoa is not actually edible, it's a trick.)
