My money's on you ita.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

ita,
do you have the strangest coworkers of anyone here?
I think you might be running away with the gold.

Now tagless for your comfort.
You could totally take ita’s coworker on roller skates.
I could certainly skate fast enough to get away.
Why can't I work with you guys? You're all much, much safer.

I could give her a run for her money... But I think you need the full experience of face to face with my coworkers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
He let me hold his knapsack. It's three sections--computers, other gadgets, survival tools. This comes to his desk every day, and he rifled through it showing me each thing.
Holy crap. That guy is READY for the zombie apocalypse.
A friend of mine just texted me that her cat died, so now I'm all sad. I have to say, I think coming home to a dead cat would have been worse than bringing him in.

But you're Canadian! Your coworkers would eat you, then apologize for it.

OMFG, I'm going to be killed and eaten first, I know it. I mean, I showed him *my* knife, but it's so little in comparison!
As with running from bears, you don't have to be better at/more prepared for knife fighting than him, merely a sufficiently convenient amount of your other co-workers.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I want to be ready for the zombie apocalypse! I am slacking! I have some of those things. But I don't have USB solar powered batteries. I will survive the zombie apocalypse but you won't know about it, because I won't be able to log onto the b.org to tell you! What kind of zombie apocalypse survival would that be?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't work out if his interest in me (kindred spirit? Really? Do I have to be????) means I'm friend, foe, or food. Because food is the only thing he doesn't have in his bag, and he's eaten human before.
Another co-worker stopped by and called me a monkey. I'm scrambling for how to not get offended by this, but apparently he meant year of the monkey. He's an earth monkey, see, and coincidentally likes to eat mindfully.. I'm all...I can't talk to people who say words like "mindful" sincerely (since I do nothing mindfully, ever) and I'm not any kind of monkey, and today was just generally kaleidoscopic.
