"Harmon, I need the forder for the Yansy job."
Harmon looked up from his cubicle. His boss leaned into his personal working area. Harmon hated it when Vanrall did that. "Forder, sir?"
"Yes, we've got to get that finished today. You do have it, don't you?"
"Sure, it's right here." Harmon reached for a pile on top of his hip-high filing cabinet. He opened the folder, leafing through the pages. "Yeah, it's all done, sir, at least that part that I can do. Here."
Vanrall took the folder and opened it, scanning the first page. "Looks good. That's what I like about you, Harmon. You get the job done."
Harmon, unimpressed by his boss's praise, turned back to his work.
"Well, I'd better get this off to Reimer. What are you working on now?"
"The Bodrew project." Harmon didn't look up from his desk. He had work to do and Vanrall would stay around and talk forever if you let him. He needed a hint. He always needed hints. "Well, I'd better finish this. Glad I could get that folder to you in time, sir."
"Folder, Harmon?" Vanrall laughed and punched Harmon on the shoulder. "You need some English classes? It's FORDER. I thought a smart guy like you would know that." Vanrall walked down the row of cubicles, pausing every few steps to talk to an employee or make a joke.
Harmon watched him leave. "Forder?" he muttered to himself. He shook his head and turned back to his work. "I've got to get out of this place or I'll become one of them."

Tonight is the women's figure skating long program. I'm cheering for Joannie Rochette (read yesterday's post for more info). I'm done my three W midterms. I'm done half a semester. I only have half a semester to go. I'm happy. I'm leaving for Maine with my siblings and Jonathan today sometime after Adv. Creative Writing class. I can't wait to leave Collegedale. I hope you all have a great time during Spring Break!

Congratulations on the finishing of midterms! Have a lovely time in Maine and tell everyone hi for me (even if they don't know who I am).
ReplyDeleteI love the word verification-inspired post, and those Captchas always amuse me, too! I love what you did with this post.
