poor ita, distracted by annoyances. The least they could do is send you someone pretty to distract you instead.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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

Then I'd complain about the pretty being at work where my rules prevent me from touching (because I'm doing oh so much touching in my free time, let me tell you).
On the other hand -- $1.36 for a slice of chocolate cake. That'll shut me up for a second or two.

Okay, I have just kicked ass, taken names, successfully repaired some personal folders much to my coworker's delight, solved the mystery of the thing with the cookies for California, and I don't even care about the ping with the 100% packet loss, because I'm going to get myself a frickin' sandwich and I can deal with it later.
On the way, I may see if the can of soup is still in the freezer.

Isn't it about time we ran away together and embarked on a life of crime?
Cause I could handle a life of crime right about how. Low-key crime, you understand. Having a beer and then driving in DC. Walking a dog at midnight while whistling in Montana. That sort of thing.

It's gone! The soup is gone! I am left with nothing but unanswered questions. Who was that mysterious can freezer?
Emily, we could be the fearsome jaywalkers what jaywalk at noon.
