Ouise! How the heck are ya?
Nervous - I'm waiting for a business call and as a phone-o-phobe, I'm not too thrilled about the idea. I'm just asking for some information, so it wouldn't be a big deal to, say, a normal person.
How are you?
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. Dog naughtiness has resulted in diarrhea all over my office floor .

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sometimes I feel like the only person here that takes meetings seriously.
I just had someone lean over and say "Sorry! I'm stuck over here!" 20 minutes after the meeting he'd scheduled was due to start. It would have been a 30 minute meeting. He didn;t look very sorry.
Finally got the most elusive guy in the department to a meeting--we've been chasing him for weeks, and my co-project manager never showed or called. No problem--I handled it myself, but I'd never miss a meeting without making an excuse to someone closer to the start time than the end.
Of course, people never miss the meetings I want to disappear.

Oh, the smell... time to go to lunch, methinks.

I am fine!
Nervous - I'm waiting for a business call and as a phone-o-phobe, I'm not too thrilled about the idea.
I hate talking on the phone because deep down I keep waiting for the person to yell at me or blame me for something. I took a media call this morning and I think I spoke to candidly. Oh well.
Maybe you need a slinky and a cat at work with you so you have something to distract you while you are on the phone.

Given tommy's recent reports of pets-in-the-office, I dunno abou this. Slinky, sure. Cat+ slinky? I think you might end up tangled in unstrungslinky and phone cord.
Today is kind of ick.

It would certainly liven things up. Preferably in a less dramatic way than sarameg is envisioning!

You can't dust for diarrhea.
