Another one this morning - the marketing manager is just back from holidays and heard the news that I was leaving to go to Uni. She came over to my desk and asked what I'd be doing - I said "concubines in Greek tragedy." I was starting to elaborate a bit further when she said 'you sad, sad woman'. I thought I'd misheard, so said 'pardon' and she repeated 'you sad, sad woman'. Obviously my face betrayed how offended I was and she went on to say good for me and it was great, etc etc. Then she said we'd have to go out for lunch before I left. Not if I can help it.
