Office people no touchey. Unless you're having a hot office romance but you should probably hide it better.
New Guy took Newer Guy out for lunch today. I sense a Power Consolidation play.
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.
'Safe'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
No, no it did not.
I'm sorry. I just want you prepared for snickering.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh lord, was I traumatized when I got hugged by the CEO at the end of her holiday party last year.

I get traumatised just watching coworkers hug each other.

Yeah, hugging at work is not on. A world of no.

No harm.
Only coworker I have hugged outside of the ones that are close friends was my officemate when he got laid off. Man, that was weird. But I was crying, too. So epic weird. I miss him. My middle boss gets touchy to all after parties (booze) but I can deflect that.

Hec, that sniper shot story makes me think of Jessica Biel trashing $30k worth of camera equipment because she hit exactly what they had her aim at.
Less deadly, but we are talking Blade 3.
I can't imagine the stress of my reaction to a likkered up grabby work superior.

You hug-a-phobes have got all kinds of personal space issues. I suspect Yankees and dour Scandanvians. And ita who is sui generis.
