If you [sara] don't like stinky looking it's a great way for them to rebel.
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

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

You mean repel. Which if that's their goal...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Since I spent a the summer I turned 15 in hip-hugger jeans which were frayed at bottom from dragging on the ground and series of garish oversized homemade tie-dyed t-shirts, I have no firm ground to stand on with regards to the clothing our young people wear.

Jessica, too bad your company gift exchange thing has a $20 limit, because I have found the perfect thing
It is perfect -- in fact, we've already got one!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is this like in Holy Grail where the French tell King Arthur that they've already got one? You've seriously already got one?
I have worked in the wrong offices, clearly.

That is so great--I want one! Reminds me of the present my first boss got from a contractor (who gave me a very nice Lenox china angel ornament that started my fancy label Christmas ornament collection) which looked like an authentic 18th-century duelling pistol but shot rubber bands. Came in a wood case and everything!

Seriously! You can tell when things are slow, because Co-Worker Whose Catapult It Is will start catapulting things at the rest of us. (And was in fact already ruled out as a Secret Santa gift on account of the price. Because having two would allow us to catapult things at the other catapult, which would be twice as much fun.)

Part and parcel, I bet.
I want to meet Mac.
