5th meeting - China Garden and the discovery of hats!

It has been a typical day at the office: Meghan was in charge. Kati was her rather unfaithful, not very trustworthy and relatively lazy sidekick. S was down the hall talking to her plants. But something was about to happen to make this day memorable … a trip to the Chinese Garden, where the girls could partake of the ghetto, yet plentiful, repast, while deciding their future plans based on the insightful, if not completely grammatically correct, sayings found in free fortune cookies. For example, while “A good man will always.” leaves plenty of room for improvisation and provides much-needed direction, it also neglects necessary punctuation.

NOVELL
HATS








Prior to leaving for the Chinese Ghetto Garden, Kati and Weiner decided to do some snooping. On a previous day trip, the three girls had noticed a fine gent on a moped with a bright and beautiful Novell logo emblazoned on his coat. Having noticed that there was a Novell coat left unattended in the unoccupied cubicle next to them, Kati and Weiner decided to try it on, and possibly steal it. What they found instead was even more breathtaking: three different Novell baseball caps of all colors and designs. Knowing that they were destined to be models (rather, Kati was, and Weiner and S were destined to be her minions and slaves), Kati and Weiner strutted down the hall to share their wares with S. All three enjoyed a good laugh, as they determined that the caps made them look like thugs, skanks, drug dealers, or all three. As requested by S, the President of FTC, pictures were taken to document this fine event. With that, the girls were off to the ghetto.

Because Meghan smoked Kati in the race to the elevator and out the revolving doors, she had the great honor of driving. This was a good omen for the day because everyone knows that S and Kati are notoriously bad drivers. However, they reached their destination in safety, ordered their food and proceeded to feast on their appetizer of egg drop soup; a concoction that more closely resembled vomit after consuming a combination of yellow Kool-Aid and flatworms.

And while Meghan and S were adventurous and sampled extensively, Kati was not to be enticed to try anything out of the ordinary—some people hope she starves. However, she did attempt to bully Meghan into eating a very hot and loathsome pepper for only two dollars. (Sometimes Kati seems to have slightly homicidal tendencies, but, out of the goodness of their hearts, Meghan and S put up with her.) In addition, to create an even remotely tempting offer, Kati would have had to include lifelong subservience and obeisance to Meghan, which she did not do.

At any rate, the meal was a great success. All three girls were satiated and enjoyed their experience immensely. They enjoyed it even though the restaurant’s hostess did seem a bit out of sorts when it came to the bill and improvised on the prices of said meal. And they enjoyed it even though Kati thought that $5.55 added to $1.50 totals a mere six dollars.

The girls returned to work to continue to rest of the mundane day … and Meghan smoked Kati and S through the badging station on the way back in.
