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

I'm snorting at my desk, and it's all your fault!

Check and see if your co-workers are IMing about you ... me, I just slid down in my chair but she can still see me. Oh, I look a little insane.

I'd need a noise I could truly make my own.

Chewing ice! Or hard candy!

I wince everytime my officemate starts chewing on a mint. It sounds like teeth breaking.

A nasal wheeze?

Growling. Or singing very quietly.

That would rock. I could send an e-mail to the rest of the team to tell them to let my chomping slide for just one week, while I got some small shred of revenge. Plus, I like ice.

She does that too. I mean, she has an impressive ouevre of things that make it impossible for me to pay attention to anything for more than a minute or two at a time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no! I think I was that person yesterday. I got a big fast-food soda, and spent the whole afternoon rattling ice in the plastic cup before chewing on it.

Oops.

I chew ice too (though I try not to) but sometimes hearing other people do it just makes my jaw hurt.

We have an open-mockery policy at my office. And besides, 90% of my coworkers are gone, so not so much with the covert snarking, I'm thinking.

oh, I HATE that. I have a coworker that hums TUNELESSLY when she works. She also talks to herself.

ION, I thought movies were on PPV before they were on DVD? Is it the opposite?

doing for the forth. I'm going to be straightening up my endnotes and bibliography. No this is good news. It means I've got the rest of my book in shape where I can finally do this. Speaking of which - I'm leaning towards Chicago Style over MLA formatting for endnotes and bibliography-seems slightly more informal and more appropriate for a work aimed at a popular audience. Buffista thoughts?
