In which much stupidity occurs

Me: *reads book at work desk, out in the open, for anyone with eyes to see.*
Bossman Extreme: "You're quiet this morning."
Me: *engrossed* "Huh?"
Bossman Extreme: *repeats*
Me: "Oh. Am reading book."
Bossman Extreme: "Oh."

Time: *passes*

Me: *Still reading book. Still not ninjareading book.*
Big Boss: "You're awfully quiet this morning!"
Me: *teary* "Huh?"
Big Boss: *repeats*
Me: "Oh. Reading book."
Big Boss: "Want some coffee?"
Me: "At this point that would be counterproductive." (Bed in less than an hour woo!)
Big Boss: "Huh?"
Me: *book*
Big Boss: "Sure you don't want any coffee? You seem tired."
Me: "Nope, just full of book."

Time: *passes*

Me: *oh god his feet wtf no!*
Bosslady: "Wren, you're quiet this morning!"
Me: *icily* "That does happen on occasion."
Office: "..."
Me: *book*
