A Whole World of Dumb

I had an interesting argument with a colleague this morning:

We were talking about how our boss is so stressed out all the time. I said, yep, he's gonna have a heart attack one day for sure. And she said, "Or he'll get Cancer."

Um, I'm sorry? What?

"He'll get Cancer. Stress causes Cancer."

I didn't quite know where to start with this one. So i began with, 'No. No it doesn't. Stress may be able to trigger and aggravate some forms of Cancer, but it doesn't 'create' Cancer.'

And she disagreed. In fact, she is still disagreeing with me. I was about to turn blue in the face, but managed to squeeze out 'let's just agree to disagree'.

My god - I never knew that such dumbness was possible in a person of 28 years old. That's right - she's not only more senior than me, but she's also older than me. What a KNOB.

And I can now add 'Incredibly Dumb Colleague' to my list of why I can't wait to leave this place.

But I won't let it stress me out... I might get Cancer!! urgh... the stupidity...
