Inside

Shadows

***Sexual content ahead***

So work sucks, that's my upbeat optimistic observation for the day. I've been locked into finance meetings since eight this morning, and no matter how often I drift off into my imagination this never gets any easier to listen to. Blah blah blah first quarter yada yada yada return on investment...spreadsheets and other random and uninteresting documents. This is lame. I wonder what Stevie is doing. As casually as possible I log onto my tablet and check the number of players in game, Stevie is one of them. She's probably as bored as I am, Mick does love to shove us all in meetings the same time every month. I think this is the only day he can manage to focus on anything other than booze and tits so if he has to suffer we will too.

As it is my boss is busy oogling the lady presenting our first quarter figures, he's making a grand show of nodding and smiling and agreeing with her suggestions on how to trim the fat around our budget. Secretly he's drawing rather crude and juvenile stick figures of women with large breasts. He giggles to himself every now and again flashing them at me under the table like we're in middle school. It must be hard being a child trapped in a man's overlarge body. I give him a tight smile after his latest art piece leaves my view logging onto my profile to join Stevie in a boss battle.

She's doing well on her own, so I stand back waiting for her to finish it off. When the final blow is dealt and her foe writhes in front of her as a smoking ruin of its former self I sit next to her at the mana spring both of us upgrading our character's experience points as she reaps her new power for the day.

LB>Shouldn't you be working?

Snicks>Shouldn't you? ;p

LB>I mean technically I am, I'm supposed to be developing this game.

Snicks>True, but according to the company calendar you and Mick are in a finance meeting until ten...so, work?

LB>Busted, this is boring. What meeting are you supposed to be paying attention to right now?

Snicks>Sexual Harassment in the workplace

LB>ah...wouldn't know anything about that one haha

Snicks>I don't know blow job in the copy room might count...😉

LB>So we should probably never do that again huh?

Snicks>No more blow jobs? Got it.

LB>No! I mean in the copy room. Other places would be okay I guess? If you're okay with that I mean.

Snicks>Haha only kidding, I think we can find a better location for those activities in the future.

Whew. That was close. Mick chuckles at his doodle and I shake my head focusing back on my chat with Stevie.

LB>Future? So you've made up your mind about us

Snicks>I think so

LB>....So?

Snicks>So, lets talk about it over lunch

LB>Okay, do you like sushi?

Snicks>You asking me out?

LB>You saying yes?

Snicks>Yeah

LB>Then yeah I'm asking you out 😉

LB>Ito's at noon my treat

Snicks>alright, in the meantime are you up for some troll hunting?
