[One cannot be expected to be productive at the office every day of the year, right? Especially with a company Christmas party coming up. The following is an excerpt from an instant message exchange with co-workers. Light editing was performed to clean up spelling errors and pare down personal details.]
Kim says:
It's tiring being cool and gracious all the time.
Kim says:
So I'm going to pick on Jess at the xmas party tonight.
Kim says:
Make fun of her airline hostess scarf.
Marvin says:
I can see why you might have wanted me to come though... Jess certainly would have dodged a bullet.
Kim says:
Exactly. You're a great punching bag.
Marvin says:
I thought so. Ask J for some salted peanuts and another pillow for me will you? (flight attendant reference)
Kim says:
Will do.
Kim says:
(snip)
Kim says:
Hey there, Marvin says he'd like some salted peanuts and an extra pillow when you've got a minute.
Jessica says:
Oh, hilarious.
Jessica says:
Marvin is only getting a slap in the face when I have a minute
(snip)
Marvin says:
OMG... you started the whole thing!
Jessica has been added to the conversation.
Marvin says:
Kim started the whole thing and prompted me to add something to the conversation. She should get the slap!
Jessica says:
You're both getting slapped
Jessica says:
that way it's even
Kim says:
Hee!
Marvin says:
Given the amount of things about me that I have to be bugged about (pear shape, hair loss, etc...) - don't you think I know to keep my mouth shut? Kim is evil... pure evil.
Kim says:
I never said you were pear shaped!
Jessica says:
Also, that's not even true
Jessica says:
you flap your lip all the time
Kim says:
Also, when I make fun of your hair it's because of its shape.
Kim says:
And yeah! You're a lip flapper!
Jessica says:
pear-shaped?
Marvin says:
No hang on that wasn't an invitation to start bugging me.
Kim says:
His hair you mean?
Jessica says:
yeah, what shape is it?
Kim says:
Sometimes astro boy, but lately it's like a triangle.
Marvin says:
Besides, Jess don't you have to prepare for arrival and crosscheck?
Jessica says:
there you go, flapping your lip again
Kim says:
I want her to point out the emergency exits.
Marvin has left the conversation.
Kim says:
Fine. He's left the conversation. What a wuss.
Jessica says:
I know, can't take the heat
Kim says:
And so he's out of the kitchen!
Jessica says:
sigh, what now?
Kim says:
Meh, I dunno.

I think this post is proof that your continued insistence that I'm mean is pure projection on your part.
And that I've trained you well.
At first, I thought MY day was the most silly yesterday. Then, I thought yours was.
THEN I met my brother was after-work drinks and he told me about how a formaldehyde leak at his workplace had shut things down (he works at the Science Centre) and everyone had spent the afternoon guessing the source...awesome and disgusting.
