A new guy started at my work this week and we were talking about stuff and life and something came up about me being old and tired (a running joke at work) and that I need to go and nap before I went out that evening. Somehow the conversation went to me being ill and he looked at me unsure if I was being serious, that kind of unknowing ‘will it be awkward if I ask’ look (and he wasn't so cool I’d have definitely made it awkward) and then he went ‘really? wouldn’t think it after meeting you.’

And that is exactly what I aim for.
