dancing at work

Was on the way from the bathroom when i encountered someone in the hallway and for a brief awkward moment, we did the awkward hallway shuffle.

This happens when engineers walking in opposite directions meet in a corridor or doorway, one would move to his (yes, engineer = male, i'm not sexist, i'm just stereotyping, it's faster) left and the other would move to his right, ends up both shuffling in a common direction, then change direction at the same time, which leads them to share a common direction again. In the meantime, the gap between us is closing quickly and there is a brief moment of shared panic on our faces when we realise imminent collision is close when at the last moment, one of us stops moving altogether, and we continue on our seperate non-colliding paths. I think next time, i'll just fake a move one direction then quickly dive to the other way, into a forward roll, then stand up and raise my arms up. Tah-dah!

In other random bits, the following bit of conversation i had with an old friend:
J: i always related our friendship to be like wine.... gets better with age
z: some wines can be corked you know hahahahaha
J: YES.... faintz haha!!
z: damn corks screw everything up
