My EE trainer and I are just different people I've decided. But it's so gratifying that people who are so different can get along even laugh with each other when they have the most important thing in common. Sometimes we can look at each other as if to say, "from which planet did you just land??" and then just carry on. Let's see... what are a few of the absurd things we've said to each other...?
W: Rue, don't tell people I know everything... They might believe you!
Rue: What's this box of crisps doing here?
W: Gary just put them on your desk because you're the baby - so you need candy.
Rue: Did you see how that lady was beaming at me when I approached her?
W: Yeaaaaaaaah... I think she was impressed with you.
Rue: Until the words I was saying registered... Friendlier reception than I'm accustomed to from most women though...
W: Rue, I like how you asked if they would like to receive the gift of eternal life at the end of the presentation tonight. I could tell you had great passion.
Rue: You know, it's kind of like asking someone to be your girlfriend... There's all this exhilaration and uncertainty, and it matters a great deal to you. And when they say yes, you just sit there stunned and try to think of something more intelligent to say than a bewildered, "really?" Only when witnessing, the outcome is all the more mysterious and uncertain to us, and bears so much more significance. I just couldn't help but be passionate.
W: (Looks at Rue incredulously as if to say, "You're odd and creepy.") Is that what it's like for a guy asking a girl out??
Rue: Uh... well, that's what I hear it's like... Heh, heh........
W: Out of all my trainees, there was this one girl who was the best I've ever seen. She worked hard and scored perfectly on the examination. But you're good, Rue; I think you're going to be better than her because English is your first language.
Rue: Oh OK thanks... No pressure then.
W: Gary, look at Rue - he's not afraid to go into the mall!
Rue: Actually I think I'm going to go throw up in the washroom, Ok...?
