Her Brain was Still on Vacation

Mondays are tough, even tougher when you've just had four days off, even tougher still when you're stuck in the coffee pantry with the one coworker you don't get along with but are forced to make conversation with regardless.

Coworker [begrudgingly]: Did you have a nice weekend; where did you go again?
Me: Went out to Long Island with the girls; Montauk.
Coworker: Oh, is there a beach there?
Me [trying hard not to sound dumbfounded]: It's....an island so...yes.
Coworker: Oh I thought it was connected to land somewhere.
Me: Nope; I think that's kind of what they mean by "island."
Coworker: Oh, I could have sworn Long Island wasn't really an island; I've never been there except to go to the beach.
