I think I'm just going to make this a book of dedications to those who read this piece in its infancy. So a shout out to AlyssaFrench14 for the support on this piece! :)

Rick walked into work that morning already a little pissed off. He opened up the envelope and saw the following message:

Life(6-B)

Is(7-C)

Going(4-C)

On(2-B)

Like(2-E)

Something(7-A)

Is(4-B)

Exciting(5-A


Especially(2-A)

Today(4-A)

Right?(5-B)


His brow furrowed as he looked down at the overly positive message. What the hell is this shit?  Rick wasn't one for sentimentality, which may have contributed to the attitude that he often got from his boss. He fumbled angrily through the rest of the notifications from the morning. For a moment the bulletin board from the morning crossed his mind, and he only became more agitated. If they make us do some sort of team building task, I'm going to blow.  And so, Rick continued on angrily throughout the day.
