Stories from work

[40cakes]

Glad to have Shannon back. She is fun. She balances out Anne evilness.

Every now and then, Boscov's sells something particularly cool. Today, I bought one of those things.

My friend, uh..."Tara" from high school, hasn't spoken to me since I wrote about her man hopping. I thought that was the final high school tie, and I'd never have Schalick brought up for another 6 years or so. Then, an honourable alum came into the store.

GIRL
You look familiar.

CASEY
You, too. (glances at credit card) Stacy Q. Bumfuck*. Oh, now I remember you...

GIRL
Yeah...I know your face...did you go to Schalick?

CASEY
Yup. C.

GIRL
You did something...were you in band?

CASEY
No, I was another type of geek. Academic team, honours classes crap.

GIRL
...Did you speak at graduation?

CASEY
Yeah, I was third.

GIRL
...Was yours the only speech that made sense?

CASEY
(laughs) I've been told that, but I won't say it myself.

GIRL
Well, who else talked? There was Kate...

CASEY
...who talked about her ugly little car. And Jenn talked--

BOTH
--about the lunchbox.

GIRL
Yeah, yours was the one that made sense.

CASEY
Thanks! Have a good evening!
