Some days it pays to come to work

[corilannam]

Now that school is mostly out, several of my cow orkers have started bringing their small fry into the office with them. For the most part, they stay quietly in their parent's office -- but not one little six year old hellion-in-training. For her, the office is definitely an interactive experience. After challenging me to a typing contest (she won, I'm sorry to report, even with one arm in a cast -- but alas, my boss will not agree to her taking over my workload with her superior skills!), she wandered into the office next to mine, where several cow orkers were discussing actual work-related things. A few minutes later, the following snatch of dialogue was heard:

6YO: "George, Brian is in love with you."
CW1: "Not in my office!"
6YO: (chanting, for next several minutes) "Brian's in love with Georgie! Brian's in love with Georgie!"

*sniff* I'm just so proud.

Brian and George proceeded to hold hands in the hallway, and as George left a few minutes ago, he stopped in Brian's doorway and serenaded him with "Goodnight Sweetheart."

Work usually isn't nearly this entertaining from where I sit.

Ha! That's great. I take it Brian and George are not the sorts of people who'd normally do this?

And here I am stuck wondering whether this six-year-old is a future slash fan.

No, that would seem highly unlikely to occur as a spontaneous event. *g*

That is the obvious assumption, yes. I was thinking, "Heh heh heh... see you in ten years, little girl!" *g*

Either that, or she's going to be a professional matchmaker.

Who knew munchkins could be so useful?

And I'm insanely jealous; guys never hold hands in my office. Hmph. Must re-fertilize the grounds with magic fairy dust.

So, how about "wereallabunchoflosers" for the diet LJ? I've been skritching my noggin all night trying to come up with something witty. Sadly, that's the best of the lot. ack.

They do occasionally serve for entertainment. *g*

It's not exactly a normal occurrence here, either, I'm sorry to say. Woman, sure, but so rarely the guys. *sigh* Fairy dust for everyone!

LOL! Well, it took me a while to get the pun there. My first reaction was, "Well, that's rather harsh on the self-esteem front, isn't it?" *g*

Not that my suggestions are even that clever:
fanwatchers
diewithatee
shrinkingslashers

Ugh. Boring, stupid, boring.

Hmmm... now that I think about it some more, how about just "bunchoflosers"? That's a little snappier, is still punny, and reads well.
