sore knees

i called into work this afternoon to cancel my shift for tomorrow, but there was no one in the office, and my manager wasn't in either. so i was put through to the manager for the ground floor, who knows me only as "small kim" (there's another kim who works for her downstairs, hence the adjective before my name).

this is how the conversation played out.

kim: hi, this is kimberley, from upstairs.
man: kimberley croning?
kim: err... no. kimberley chieng.

*silence*

kim: umm... you know? the small asian one?
man: OHH... yes, yes. (starts laughing).

on circular motion:
you know, when an egg and a sperm come together, they form the first human cell. this is a giant cell which, when it divides, splits into two smaller cells within itself. and it keeps doing that until the cells are the correct size... which means you're not actually getting any bigger. okay, so when i'm spinning this thing here, the circular motion is caused by the forces i'm exerting towards the centre of rotation. interestingly, the sperm actually has to rotate the egg before fertilisation, and the rotation is also a form of circular motion...

what. the...
