I have written several times that I don't normally share my pool life with my coworkers. I have about one million reasons why, and here lists just a few: LINK ONE, LINK TWO.
So, check out this crazy exchange that JUST happened today. The timing is very ironic to me:
I walk to the elevator and three coworkers are standing there waiting for the down elevator, also.
One starts a convo with me: "I haven't seen you in a while. You been on vacation?"
"Yes" is all I reply. I don't mention I just was in Vegas.
"Oh that's good. Guess you don't want to tell us where, huh?"
"Nah" I say with uncomfortableness.
"Do you still play pool?"
"Yes" is again my one-word reply. I don't share with them I was just in Vegas for pool.
"You used to play competitively. Do you still?"
"Yes" is all I reply.
"Are you good?"
"Yes" is all I reply again, not even sharing I just placed 5th out of 250 women!
I could have shared that I was just in Vegas playing pool competitively, placed my highest finish in singles, and am ECSTATIC about it, but I just smiled shyly and replied, "yes" to most of his questions without adding anything extra.
I just don't talk about my personal pool life anymore with folks here.
Wish I could - I'm pretty freaking proud of myself!
