Awkward Coworker: Hey Sam?
Me: *turns in chair* Yes!
Awkward Coworker: Oh, did I scare you?
Me: Uh, no?
Awkward Coworker: It's just when [mutual coworker] does that it means I've startled her. Apparently I...do that.
Me: No, I'm just, um, focused? And I like my swivel chair.
Awkward Coworker: They are convenient, I guess...

POINT OF DISCUSSION: Which one of us was more awkward just now? I can't tell.

Oh yes. GOOD HEAVENS WHAT AM I SITTING ON.

"Why does every day involve a fight with an American?"

"I'm a good sailor!"

Though it is nothing to the glory of her leaning in and asking curiously, "What is a weekend?"

[aelfgyfu_mead]

Like the swivel chair scene, "What is a weekend?" had me laughing so hard that we had to pause the video.

I'm sure we could quote Violet all day, but we should probably stop, because I am only three episodes through season 2, and I risk SPOILERS!

But one parting shot: "I hate Greek drama—when everything happens offstage." Yes! Want my drama ONSTAGE, doggone it!

Have you seen the Things The Dowager Duchess Says video on YouTube? I think it only goes through S1, and it's well worth searching out. :D

[aelfgyfu_mead]

Oh, that's great! Except that it does go into s2, because I haven't seen anything about nutcrackers, but I stopped the moment I realized there was something I hadn't seen.

I'll look for it again once I've finished s2.

Oh sorry! I thought it was S1 only.
