The Ego Has Landed

I’ve known a lot of people with egos.

I’ve gone to school with them. I’ve worked with them. Sometimes, I’ve even idolized them.

But never before have I met someone who has too big of an ego to acknowledge my existence—until now. One of the “very important people” (who we’ll call Chris—a good gender neutral name) at my job won’t even speak to me. I’m not talking about the fact that Chris doesn’t ask my opinion, consult with me, etc. Chris won’t even speak, even in general passing. I will be walking down the hall, pass by Chris, say “Good morning” and get nothing in reply other than the goofy half-cocked grin that could mean either, “I’m completely stoned” or “I’m so superior to you that I won’t even let you know I’m hearing what you say.” I honestly don’t know which it is, and I’m so intrigued/amused that I feel like I want to know.
