today at lunch...
Friday, July 27, 2007 / 12:49 AM

this is my attempt to blog about my incomprehensible thought processes. I think sitting down in the office for too long a time and not talking to your colleague does weird things to your brain.


Today at the departmental lunch at a swanky italian restaurant, in the middle of the main course...

E: .... civil servants sometimes have to be called up to do election duties...

F: Yah, and I always don't get to vote you know.

H: HUH? You mean civil servants cannot vote?! (My brain was doing this really quick sweep about the constitution and if there was any part which states that civil servants cannot vote)

T: (Laughs). What do you mean civil servants don't get to vote? What do you think the government is afraid of? I can assure you votes are secret. I was doing...

H: (to qualify my laughable thought) Maybe there's a conflict of interests or something... (drones off)...

And all that conversation took place right after T and I had a discussion about public law module in law school.

OMG. You cannot believe how horrified I was. But the lunch was yummy.
