a compliment worth getting OR why working here is good for my self-esteem

Me: Look...if I keep doing yoga, do you think I could look like that?

An unnamed member of the crackerjack, Heme/Onc Clinical Trials team: She's been a waif since like, age twelve.  I think she'd look like that even if she did nothing"

Me: "So you're saying no."

An unnamed member of the crackerjack, Heme/Onc Clinical Trials team: Probably not, but she was never funny.  You're funnier and nicer.  But I don't think you can do that in heels.
