I like my co-workers.

One of our female developers was looking for my boss when he was at lunch, so I told her I'd let him know when he got back. He walks in and I say, "P was looking for you."

Then I said, "I was going to say that P wanted you, but I didn't want to give you the wrong impression." (I know, bad, old joke, but it still gets a laugh)

So he laughs, and says, "I'm so glad they hired you. This place would be so dull and boring without you," ending with, "the excitement that you provide is unequaled."

Better than the aspersions he was casting upon my character on Monday.

I told them about my interviews (let's just say it was... casual. We talked about fanfiction!) and my boss says, "so, just what is the connection between you and S? (former veep who interviewed me)"

"There isn't one! Why, what have you heard?"

Instant backpedalling.
