It's a shame that Jon Stewart is in repeats this week, because he'd probably be having the MP on his show. :-)
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

Coworker just urged me to "Smile! It can't be that bad!" which proves he has no survival instincts whatsoever. Social Darwinism in action!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
don’t be a twit
This is what I get for being helpful and inclusive? That's no sort of encouragement.
If "bitch" is being used on me as an insult, but as a result of behaviour for which I am not in the least contrite or critical of, I don't care. That's when I'm liable to smile and say thanks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, shrift. Kill.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Surely the "Smile!" co-worker combusted shortly after that comment. That's just so wrong. It's the sort of thing that'll get you disemboweled.

What is even happening?
It feels like I've been betrayed by my best friend! I have turned to green tea in my time of need.shrift. This conversation is scaring me too much. I never knew coffee couldn't help. I...I...I will not have this conversation. I don't believe you. I think you are a coffee bigot, and you've been putting yourself forth as an acolyte for all this time, when really, you've been working for some subversive green tea lobby. I wonder what else you've been faking. I bet you don't even write fic. Poser.

But guys don't like it when you call them "bitch." I've found.
Even if you call them a "sexy bitch"? How odd.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I try not to use "bitch" as it is a specifically female insult. Asshole or fucker work just fine for either sex. (Sounds like a slogan.)

I'm sure he would have, had I not immediately pushed him in front of a speeding bus. Alas poor coworker, I did not want to know him well.

Did I not warn you all that Dana was evil and that I was her sockpuppet?
