A Day In the Life


Here B sits... surrounded by white walls in a tiny cube with CJ, her cubemate. 8:03am... nothing to do. 8:44am... nothing to do. Delirium sets in. Her mind, body and soul enter a glazed like state. She wonders into E's cube to see how she's going to survive the day.

There E sits. In the very back corner of a large cube filing her nails. Suddenly, she hears B and looks up. 8:53am... nothing to do. Her eyes and face are glazed. The two stare at each other, and without uttering a single word, they communicate. Telepathically, they comment on their chances of survival... slim.

A voice is heard in the distance. A shiver runs down their spines. It's T, the evil dictator they once served. Their keen since of hearing alerts them to the sound of clanging jewelry. T is approaching. Luckily, she's diverted by Bill, the cherry on her whipped cream.

9:31am... B's phone rings. It's M. B stares at the phone, building up strength to last through a 45min conversation. Rambling takes hold of M. She's lost in space. B holds the phone away from her ear, mutes it, does some 360's in her chair, clicks her pen against her head, breaths heavily, and is finally able to hang up after M is diverted by a random passerby.

10:30am... CJ blows a gasket. "Numbers! Sales = numbers! No direction! Inconsistent! Trapped!" 10:45am... nothing to do.

To be continued... stay tuned for the exciting events that occur after lunch!
