So I told the office clerk, 'aren't you kind of slacking off?'경리한테 솔직히 너 꿀빨지않냐 라고 했더니

She'd finish her one task by morning, then go straight for her phone오전에도 일일업무하고 바로 폰질하던

This clerk I'm close with — on her phone in the office after lunch too친한 경리 점심먹고 사무실에서 폰질길래

'Wow, you're really milking it... what are you even looking at,' I said이야 꿀빠네.. 머보냐 하니까

'Haha, but I'm the one who brightens up the mood,' she saidㅎㅎ 대신 저는 분위기를 밝게해주잖아용 이러더라

'Lol what do you mean brighten the mood,' I saidㅋㅋㅋ뭔 분위기를 밝게하는데 이러니까

Cool as anything: 'Without me it'd be dead in here, right?' she said천연덕스럽게 제가 없으면 칙칙하잖아요 인정? 이러더라

Honestly, this place is a total sausage fest, so... she's not wrong솔직히 씹남초라 맞는말인데..

Guess I want to be born a woman next life too나도 다음생엔 여자로 태어나고싶다

💡 Wait, she just admitted to slacking off and got away with it?
'꿀빨다' (lit. 'sucking honey') means coasting through an easy job — owning it by claiming she's the office's mood-lifter is the whole punchline.vs. the US: like a coworker who clocks off early and calls it 'morale support.'Klore note

💡 Why does it matter that she's basically the only woman there?
He calls the office '씹남초' — brutally male-dominated, using crude slang — which is why her mere presence gets half-jokingly counted as 'work.'vs. a US trading floor: like the one woman in a bro-heavy office getting slack cut for being 'the vibe.'Klore note
