Comfort Zones

While explaining job duties to the new guy, he stopped me in mid-sentence and informed .....
"This is not my comfort zone."

I wasn't quite sure how to react. It was never mentioned in the supervisor training sessions that someone might express such feelings.

Huh? Say what? Really dude? I thought. What part of my standing here talking to you, a total stranger, an X-factor in my day, a possible homicidal maniac, appears like I'm in my comfort zone? Hell, anytime I'm on the company property, I'm outside my zone of comfort. And I'm relatively sure that the people I answer to don't really care. Sometimes you just gotta suck it up and get to work. I'll be in my comfort zone when I'm home sitting on my couch, watching baseball.
