Shermy sat at her desk and turned on her computer. Her desk was somewhat messy, there were a few old sticky notes on the wall and computer, an old photo of her, Mike, and a few old friends framed on her desk, some coupons for fast food lunches, and a lot of pens. Too many pens shes stolen from other empty desks. She calls herself the "Pen Bandit", Mike just calls it being obsessed with ballpoint pens.

Her computer turned on and she opened up her emails. She also noticed she was getting a message from Mike on another tab, but he can wait for a little.

Junk... more junk... these spam emails are getting more stupid by the moment. "Enchanted Fur Supplements", "Love Pills", and whatever the hell "Special Milk" is. It's all crap. "Do people ever fall for this shit?" Shermy thought to herself as she finally got to the memo email for the week.

Hello fellow workers, it's time for another weekly memo!

As you know we've been getting some work done on the new office rooms and desk areas, we're also getting around to fixing those vents so the A.C should be working very soon!

The schedule for this week is pretty slim as we will be more focused on the new areas of the building and trying to promote ourselves to a bigger market. Here's what's happening this week:

Monday: THE COFFEE MACHINE MEETING. I WANT ALL YOU BASTARDS HERE NOW, I HAVEN'T HAD COFFEE IN THREE DAYS. - THE BOSS

Tuesday: Bi-weekly suggestions box meeting. Come on down if you want to suggest things to improve the office work experience here!

Wednesday: Pizza Day! Yes finally, we are bring back Pizza Day after the month ago dilemma involving a certain rat and a certain worker getting into the pizza too early. This time there will be no rats and that person is terminated from the office. Happy eating!

Thursday: Book Club and Art Club are starting this week. Hop in if you want to join them! The meeting starts after lunch at 1:30 pm.

Friday: We'll be getting our new computers in the afternoon, meaning we are upgrading from Bimdoes 2000 to Dinixs 8! Get ready to transfer anything you feel is important and back it up as soon as possible.

Happy working, this is the end of the memo!

"Interesting week, I'm amazed to hear about the new computers coming in." Shermy thought to herself. Mike was blowing up her message box so she finally answered. They used an old message client to talk while working since newer messaging clients didn't work they had to settle for an old one from the '90s.

MikeSayzSike: Dude the pizza is amazing, I don't know what they put into it but IT'S SOOOOO GOOD lmaoo.
ShermDaWorm: It must have been so good that a rat and an old employe here started eating it early.
ShermDaWorm: My question is why they brought a rat in the first place anyway, that's just bad news all around.
MikeSayzSike: Well I mean, rats are cool tho. Why not bring them on the pizza heist of a lifetime?
ShermDaWorm: True, rats are pretty cool. And cute too.
ShermDaWorm: I planned on buying one once as a pet, not sure if I'll get around to it.
MikeSayzSike: Whoa! :0
MikeSayzSike: I didn't think you were into pets dude, you seemed scared around my dog usually!
ShermDaWorm: Well that's cuz your a human and I'm a humanoid sheep + rabbit hybrid, and dogs think of me as food most of the time.
ShermDaWorm: My grandma would constantly warn me NOT to go near dogs or wolves or foxes or ANYTHING from the forest usually when I was young.
MikeSayzSike: ...wasn't your Grandma a full-time professional methhead or something?
ShermDaWorm: LMAO YEAH. Idk why I listened to most of her bullshit, like the dog's thing stuck with me, but she once told me that Cooties were real and they were deadly to boys.

MikeSayzSike has logged off.

ShermDaWorm: Whatever dork lmao.


Shermy logged off the messaging client and went to work on her paperwork, it was boring and long but Shermy didn't mind. She was listening to music from her iPod and getting through everything felt like a breeze to her whenever she was listening to her favorite playlists, she missed Mike though. She wished that they near close to each other instead of being far away and having to message on a buggy message client.


But it's whatever to Shermy, she has work to do.
