Waiting and Wanting
to leave! The rest of the entire building is empty. I can feel it. I am among the few left. Our VP said we could go so long as we didn’t have anything pressing. I don’t! I have work, yes. but I much rather just work harder on Monday.
I and another girl sought to lighten the bizarro office atmosphere by playing some tunes (carefull avoiding those that are not office appropriote) and everyone around us loved it. We were smooth DJs, iming each other to keep in step, creating mood, rythm, passing song responsibilities tagteam style! By golly there was life! One girl danced on a chair. We continued to do our work. Chair dancing girl got her 2nd variable to pass! (she’s trying some perl) And it was good!
Then the producers from like SUPER FAR away - sound dampened by about 48 fabric cubes and carpet and ceiling tiles - had to complain. They sent an emmissary - a girl I think is pretty cool most of the time. And it went like
she: “I’m sorry I’ve been sent to ask you to turn it down because it’s REALLY loud over there”
me: “the bass is traveling?”
her: “No, like everything! It’s really loud over there” (turns and gestures as if the music is somehow louder over from whence she came, as opposed to a place 3 cubes farther in the other direction away from where I sit.
Maybe i need to draw a photo to convery how FAR they all are. Even the VP’s in their offices didn’t mind. poo on that! grrr hiss phhffft raerrrr *swats with paw*
Happy Fourth everyone!! I plan on watching turtle races, fireworks, boating and swimming, ALL while eating hot dogs. Barfing should occur around 11am, then again around 4pm. Then perhaps again around 10pm from delayed heat stroke and warm beer. USA! USA! just kidding.
