I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow, Liese. That's cool. I just made a cute guy move seats so I could snag another outlet, but he moved a million seats over. I have girl cooties.
I'm startled and appalled at the Lush stuff. It doesn't fucking matter what accent any of your employees have or what typos you make. How does that get across so many desks and no one say oops, maybe this looks dodgy?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I am Mary Poppins, which is what I could throw together at 7:30 this morning. It looks all right, but I wish I'd thought of it in time to put together a proper-sized carpet bag containing a measuring tape, a brown glass medicine bottle and a compact filled with black powder. And I'm sorely feeling the lack of a parrot head on my umbrella handle. But, anyhow, it was good enough to get me a $2 discount coupon for lunch at the campus taqueria. I'm not quite sure how to stay in Poppins character while eating a burrito, but I shall make the endeavor.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sing!
Wait, risk of death while eating.
You can hold your umbrella with one hand as you fly above everyone and eat your burrito with the other hand, right?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Wow, Liese. That's cool.
Isn't that a crazy story? This is the guy. Mel McGary, he's a total badass.

Yeah, exactly. It's partially why I doubt the story of the product's genesis. It would have to mean everyone whose desk that crossed was willfully ignorant. Instead, I'm going to assume malevolence. Simple incompetence doesn't cover it.

I wish you were here, Perkins. You being with us would improve the experience by a billion percent. Fuck cancer!
Plei - totes! If you're not too busy and stuff. The only plans we have for today are Pikes Place for a number of hours once Cassiepants arrives. Tomorrow we want to accomplish Space Needle, underground tour and the Battlestar Galactica exhibit at the Sci Fi museum. Definitely time to meet up whenever you can. I've shown DH enough awesome pics of Lilybean that he could probably pick her out in a crowd.

A spoonful of salsa helps the burrito go down . . .

I... really can't sing at work. I don't hate anybody here enough to inflict that on them.
(Er, not that there aren't people here I hate that much, but the most worthy candidate is on vacation this week, so I'd just be tormenting people I actually like for no reason.)
