Lunch with a senior colleague

She came to my desk and asked me, 'How are you?'
'I'm pretty well', I answered.
She continued, 'Shall we go for a lunch?'
'Sure', I replied.

We took seats in a Tempura restaurant.
Tempura is one of Japanese cuisine.
They fry shrimp, vegetable and fish coated with thin flour mixed with water.

She said to me, 'Your workload seems to get heavier recently. Are you alright with that?'
I answered, 'I'm alright. I asked my boss to give me more tasks, because being idle at work makes me feel empty.'
Then our chat shifted to home appliance, especially HotCook and electric ovens.
Both of us are users of those cooking equipment.

I was surprised that she noticed my tasks have been increasing.
