Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I had one co-worker I'd gossip with over IM, and he was the next cube over, with a low wall. I like to know no one else can see.

In this job, I'm fresh and new and have no interest in that sort of stuff. So it's all bizness-related and most of my transcripts get saved, so it might as well be email.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Make Cookies in 90 Seconds with Your Waffle Iron

Baking cookies in your oven is fine and all, but if you want to turn out some tasty cookies in a very short time, consider turning to your trusty waffle iron. Turns out you're only 90 second away from crispy, chewy, cookie-goodness.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh, shit. Yet ANOTHER shooting today. Seriously, WTF is wrong with people?

I can just see the headlines: Christian Opens Fire in Office Building.

Well, right? I mean, if it's so important that the Major who was the gunman at Ft. Hood is Muslim, then SURELY the religion of today's shooter is important, too! Right?

(Not that I know he's a Christian, but just by playing the odds, he probably is.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Make Cookies in 90 Seconds with Your Waffle Iron

Oooh. I like it. Not having to turn on my oven in the summer is always good, and cookieless summers are nobody's friend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Interoffice IM is great for gossiping about co-workers you don't want to talk about out loud. Er, I mean collaborating on projects.

Right on. Kind of like this here, I am all for non-work that looks the same as working! (I.e., sitting at your desk, typing on the computer.)

I can see many a college student taking advantage of this.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, man. Now I want a cookie.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I would really like my boss to open his office door so I can talk to him about the project plan and status updates that just landed in my lap. I know he's going to come out of his office at noon and wonder where I am. Making sure I only work 40 hours this week, is where. Gotta leave then because of the one o'clock meeting.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I was wondering why I hadn't heard anything from my boss today--turns out that she's off. Since she usually works from the city office, I don't see her every day, but she usually send an e-mail out telling us that she's taking pto the next day.
