I just took on a new mentoree at work and she's known for being a "tricky customer"... anyway, thinks I, I shall tame the wild beast and emerge victorious....
Today was our first day working together. It has been exactly 7 minutes since she sat herself down next to me and already I fear I'm way over my head.
This is a transcript of our exact conversation this morning (for context, I am about 7 stone overweight and currently on weightwatchers, which she doesnt know about. She is a healthy weight).
Her: Are you on a diet?
Me: Huh?
Her: Are you on a diet? It's just I have cake and crisps all day, I'm a total addict!
she moves the mountain of cake and crisps to her side of the desk
Me: Oh that's fine don't worry I'll cope!
Her: Do you go to the gym? Do you do any exercise at all?
Me: Well no, but I have dogs so I'm out with them a lot
Her: Oh! Good well that's something then. You should join the gym it's good for you
Me:.... gobsmacked
(here comes the kicker)
Her: I think if i was your size though I'd feel a bit self conscious about gyms.
IWILLENDYOU.
WRAAAATH!!!!

I quietly got up and went to the loo.... where I still am.
Bollocks.
