Office Rumours

Friday night in the bar (the ad agency that I work at, has it's own rooftop bar, that opens up every friday night for us to drink our weekly sorrows away) was very, very, very interesting.

After a few drinks, some creatives that I work with, devulged some juicy office rumours that have been floating around. It involved myself, and a newly hired copywriter... The devulgés said that the copywriter had been telling them (they all share an office) that he and I were "getting down" (as they had put it). On hearing this blatant rubbish, it took me back to my highschool years... When last had I been part of malicious adolescent gossip? I felt warm and fuzzy inside- yeah right...

This morning I confronted the copywriter, he later sent me an e-mail that read:

Is information gathered through coercion and assumption valid?

Example: young (dashing and handsome) copywriter gets accosted by a team of female art directors. While their enquiries may seem innocuous, their motives are not. They are out to create mischief. They ask "is there something goin down with you and S? You spend very much a lot of time in her office?"
young copywriter, puzzled, answers "Not that I am aware of, despite her being a mighty cool chick as well a fine cook."
Cut to today, in the young copywriters office. He sits at his desk wondering what alse is being said about him. Damn working in this office can make you paranoid!

Ahhh, the joys of working with creative minds- the fine line of fantasy and reality often gets blurred...
