AROUND THE WATER COOLER/BOWL....an update on the behind the scenes
office news at All One Together...
President & CEO Mickey
Continues to live from that place of
Zen-ness by consistently serving as
a perfect example of 'being', not
'doing'. Is he secretly pining for
Ms.Tunabreath, as rumor has it?
Inquiring minds want to know!
In an attempt to inspire the staff to increase their productivity and team
spirit, an office temp was hired to shake things up a bit. But it turned out that
Katherine (aka Kitty) Farkleboob was more concerned with trying to set a
fashion trend, and, as you can tell by her security badge photo to the left,
prone to saying "Naa, naa, naa, I'm better than you," and promptly sticking
her tongue out to further punctuate the declaration. Needless to say, this
kind of behavior did not go well with other staff members, especially resident
diva Karma, and the ensuing episodes of cat fights & name calling made it
necessary to let Kitty go after just a few days on the job.
Enter Missy Tunabreath, another temp brought in with
hopes of uniting the staff instead of creating more
disruptions. Missy certainly turned out to be amiable
enough, but unfortunately was prone to staring all day
at the fish bowl, muttering "fishies, fishies," as if in
some kind of trance. It was never clear if she was
actually in some deep meditative state and "fishies"
just happened to be her mantra, or if she had
"designs" on the gold fish and a free lunch in mind
(was her last name of Tunabreath a red flag that
someone should have picked up on when first looking
over her resumé?!) Sadly, after just a short period of
time,she, too, had to be asked to leave the company.

But talk around the water cooler/bowl is that Big
Cheese and head honcho Mickey had been instantly
smitten when, in seeing Missy's face amplified through
the fish bowl, thought he'd finally found a female to
match him in size. Not only did he seem to relate to her
"fishies" routine as if she was uttering sweet nothings
in his ear, he also felt her lack of physical movement
was totally aligned with his own "just say 'no' to doing"
stance on life. Rumor has it the two are secretly
meeting outside the confines of the office to explore
the deeper meanings of life (and fish!).
With the unsuccessful experience of trying to bring in temporary help to motivate the crew, and
the number of staff back down to the original five, the end-of-the-month business meeting was
spent urging everyone  to really start pulling their weight. It was politely pointed out that, even if
just Mickey and Boo (both well beyond the Beefy-Ts stage of things) did that, the company
could be up there with Microsoft and some other corporate giants in no time flat. I guess we'll
have to wait and see what actually happens next...
And in further news... At the New Year's Eve staff party Mickey announced that, as far as New
Year's resolutions go, he had decided that instead of going on a fast, where you abstain from
eating for an extended period of time, he planned to go on a 'slow'.  He went on to explain that a
slow is where you actually eat MORE than normal, but in a very leisurely manner. Could this be
the result of Missy's behind the scenes influence?

Karma, sure that she already is, and always has been, perfect, piped up saying that she had
little use for New Year's resolutions, but thought the rest of the staff should each have long lists
of things they resolved to work on in the new year in order to better themselves. At that point
Hunky let out an animated "Pa-leezze," rolled her eyes, and promptly chased Karma into the
ladies' powder room. The party disbanded soon after.
Missy Tunabreath
Enlightened being exploring higher
states of conscious using a most
unique mantra, or cold-blooded killer
on the prowl for a free lunch?!
We may never know.
Katherine (aka Kitty) Farkleboob
Potty-mouthed nut job and
trouble-maker, or fashionista on the
cutting edge of what's hot? You be the
judge.
