Office Space Moment

On good days at our current place of employment, we use our creative sides to write whimsical prose for the company website. On bad days we get sent to a closet, off in the office hinterlands to organize stacks of paper, move boxes from one place and then back to their original location, and take naps between the large filing cabinets. Today is a bad day; we are building boxes, and then shipping user guides to customers...as you can imagine it has our dendrites really firing. But what is interesting about today thus far is not what we're doing per se, but whom we're doing it with.

For anonymity purposes we'll call her Spelinda, and she is the spawn of the "Case of the Mondays" lady from Office Space. She refuses to stop smiling, and to everyone who passes by this room, and it is in a high-traffic area, she literally screams (with eyes bugging out of her dome), "Happy Friday!!!" She's said it almost 30 times...yes we're keeping a tally.

She is absolutely driving us nuts! We're going to either punch her in the neck or slam our heads in the door. Something's gotta give.

Interesting caveat to this tale is that Spelinda looks like the five foot, long-haired, female version of Eduardo Najera. So by us thinking she's kind of cute...does that make us kinda gay?
