Small Talk

I just had a fascinating conversation with a co-worker, if "conversation" is the right word to use when only one person is doing the talking. It seems that the kitty litter that he's using just isn't doing the trick. Oh, it releases the heavily perfumed smell as advertised, but unfortunately it does nothing to mask the underlying offensive odor. Believe it or not, this is actually making it worse!

I'm not necessarily complaining that I'm hearing about all of this, but I'm curious as to why someone would bring this up at all. Is this your biggest concern at home? What makes this a topic that you think anyone might be interested in, let alone me? It's not like I own a cat. Was this on your mind when you came to work or is there something about me that reminded you of this? Maybe I just have "that look".

The sad thing is that I found this more intriguing than almost anything else I've had to deal with today. And in some weird way, I'm wondering what the next installment will hold. Will this be a continuing story or will there be a dramatic conclusion? Something tells me this saga is far from over.
