Author's Chapter Notes:

The aftermath of "Diversity Day" online.

Standard disclaimer: I do not own the Office, AOL, or any of the stories I'm using here. 

MorganLaFey: hey

WScranton8: hi

MorganLaFey: so today was awful

MorganLaFey: like, get a new job, burn the whole place down awful

MorganLaFey: the only saving grace was that I fell asleep at work

MorganLaFey: and when that’s the best thing…

WScranton8: I know how you feel

WScranton8: like, my day wasn’t that bad

WScranton8: but it was?

WScranton8: you ever have a day that ought to feel totally shitty but somehow manages to turn itself around because of one minor thing?

MorganLaFey: only all the time

MorganLaFey: usually because of you :-)

MorganLaFey: or, like, this one friend I have at work who’s kinda cool

WScranton8: hey, I try, and I’m sure she does too

WScranton8: but actually, funny you should mention that, I have someone at my work who does that too

WScranton8: you remember “normal chick”?

MorganLaFey: the one vaguely sane person at your workplace?

MorganLaFey: yeah, I remember

MorganLaFey: wish there were a sane woman at mine, I could use a girlfriend

WScranton8: what about your one friend?

MorganLaFey: oh, he’s great, but it’s not quite the same thing, you know?

WScranton8: I suppose not

WScranton8: anyway, she’s awesome

WScranton8: like I think I told you before

MorganLaFey: yeah, awesome but taken I think was your description

WScranton8: *sigh* yeah

WScranton8: so she’s just...well she reminds me of you

WScranton8: and our conversations here

MorganLaFey: so totally amazeballs :-P

WScranton8: yeah ;-)

WScranton8: and today was really bad

WScranton8: like, as bad as you said plus nuke the place from orbit bad

WScranton8: and just sitting next to her made everything OK

MorganLaFey: aww

MorganLaFey: that’s really sweet

MorganLaFey: and if she can do that I’m flattered you think she’s like me

WScranton8: :-) no flattery

WScranton8: just the facts, ma’am

MorganLaFey: :-)

WScranton8: so I’m sorry you don’t have someone like that to make your day better

WScranton8: or, sorry, I’m assuming, you probably do

MorganLaFey: I think I might

MorganLaFey: since I’m talking to one of them

WScranton8: aww

WScranton8: and you do that for me too, never think you don’t

WScranton8: but I meant in person

MorganLaFey: yeah

MorganLaFey: it’s different, isn’t it?

WScranton8: yeah

WScranton8: too bad

MorganLaFey: so what made your day so bad? It really can’t have been worse than mine

WScranton8: terrible meetings—I swear my boss is a possessed evil child—and on top of that I lost a major client to a coworker

WScranton8: like, seriously, what kind of company makes their own salespeople compete against each other?

WScranton8: how do you justify that kind of business model?

WScranton8: IT MAKES NO SENSE

MorganLaFey: I’m sorry

MorganLaFey: if it helps, my boss is an infant in big boy clothes too

WScranton8: it does, a little

WScranton8: at least we can suffer together

MorganLaFey: and I’m not a salesperson, but I’m pretty sure I’d be frustrated if my coworkers were undermining me. Not that I’m sure how they would, but if anyone could find a way to, it would be them.

WScranton8: I hear you

WScranton8: how’d we land the two worst jobs in the world?

MorganLaFey: just lucky I guess

MorganLaFey: but hey, gives us something to talk about, right?

WScranton8: it does at that

WScranton8: so, um, how’s the art?

MorganLaFey: the art?

WScranton8: yeah, it’s been a while since I heard you talk about your art

WScranton8: been painting much recently?

MorganLaFey: no, you know, I just haven’t had the time

MorganLaFey: if it’s not going to be good, why do it, you know?

WScranton8: no, Morgan, I don’t know

WScranton8: you’re a good artist. Remember when you sent me those pictures last year?

WScranton8: it’s not going to suck

WScranton8: you just have to keep doing it

MorganLaFey: thanks, but I dunno

WScranton8: well, I do

WScranton8: you have to keep doing it

WScranton8: it’s like a muscle: use it or lose it

WScranton8: and we don’t want you to lose it, do we?

MorganLaFey: no :-)

WScranton8: good :-)
