Lunch hour at the office …

Bill:
Hey, if Mickelson can get that monkey off his back …

 

---

Mike:
Mickelson mocks the naysayers with his monkey pants … And netted me a pair of sawbucks from the dudes in shipping.

 

---

Bill:
Fer crissakes you're not betting with the Salvadorans in shipping again after what happened last time?

 

---

Mike:
Er … Just a little bit. [Laughs] Besides, last time it wasn't my fault but Grady effin' Little's fault. And who can bemoan learning how to make and serve pupusas to a hungry band of Salvadorans?

 

---

Bill:
True dat. Sandinista, baby. Hey, you talked to the new designer yet?

 

---

Mike:
Circle? Yeah, she's cool. Big time Sox fan.

 

---

Bill:
Circle? No, Susan, the new pixel chick … Who the hell is Circle?

 

---

Mike:
Susan is Circle. See, quote Susan is her quote governement name as she explains it. Kinda cool, really.

 

---

Bill:
Circle? Fucking Risdee grad whackos. Ol' man Scrivener's going to love that. I'm probably going to get stuck updating the employee handbook regarding goverment names.

Author's Notes:
This "Circle" business is straight out of Geoff Dyer's Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It. I want to play around a bit with that idea. Meanwhile, the "government name" thing is from a popular hip hop song the name of which now escapes me.
