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

Sparky, I hope it's nothing malicious and is something that ends up being trivial and passing.

Suzi, owch to CJ. Poor kid.

I come in at 8, so calling an 8:30 meeting is no skin off my nose. Unless you call it and haven't show up yet at ten to nine. In which case, you're not looking good. This guy has been late so often, and this is only the start of his second week.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My Monday is not combative, but it is kind of blah and stupid. I think I will try some tea and see if that helps.

Is this three-hour lunch guy?

Same one. I don't get people. He's just now coming in, and isn't even ready for the meeting that would have started half an hour ago. Hey, more time for me to research, but still.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Man. I've been coming in almost an hour late for a while now, but I've been here 5 years and am pregnant. And I almost never take lunch.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Gah, Sparky, that's awful. I swear I was reading about a similar situation up here in MA, except the dog park was more official already. Didn't stop the assholes from trying to hurt the dogs, though (I don't think poisoning was involved in this case, but violence against some random dogs). Why do people have to suck?

Awesome. I insist you keep us updated on his shenanigans.

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

I bet he's always late because he's hanging out with Tino.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That guy is a Piece Of Work.

I tend to be about 10 to 15 minutes late as often as not, but considering I'm also here for about 11 hours afterwards and most weekends as well, I'm not all that concerned about punctuality.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Man. I've been coming in almost an hour late for a while now, but I've been here 5 years and am pregnant. And I almost never take lunch.

This is me, except for the pregnant bit. But I'm also almost always working in the early mornings or into the evening and on weekends. And also didn't start it up two weeks into my job. Whatev.
