RP Log | Girl Talk at Work
Alex Eames: *MCS Squadroom*
Alex Eames: *sat at her desk, filling out a form*
Megan Wheeler: *supposed to be working on paperwork too, but... might be having more fun just clicking her pen*
Alex Eames: *it's quiet in there, and all Alex can hear is that clicking sound- she pauses what she's doing and looks over at her* Having fun?
Megan Wheeler: It's something to do. *watches the the pen tip comes out... then clicks it back in* Have I mentioned that I hate paperwork?
Alex Eames: Perhaps once or twice. *smirks* You know it'll go faster if you put pen to paper.
Megan Wheeler: *chuckles* Ah, but that's no fun.
Alex Eames: *laughs* What will you say when Ross asks what you did all day?
Megan Wheeler: That I was hard at work?
Alex Eames: The pen required your full attention?
Megan Wheeler: Of course. *smirks* Have to get in the zone.
Alex Eames: *laughs* All I need is coffee for that
Megan Wheeler: Why must paperwork be required? *melodramatic sigh*
Alex Eames: It's a modern day form of torture. They've replaced the fire and the pain sticks in favour of a desk filled with mindless paperwork
Megan Wheeler: You know... that makes sense. Maybe it's a kind of psych eval too. *smirks wider* The more you get done, the crazier they know you are.
Alex Eames: *chuckles* I wouldn't be surprised. That's why they monitor our progress.
Megan Wheeler: All the more reason *clicks pen again* to waste time.
Alex Eames: I see your logic there.
Alex Eames: *smirks*
Megan Wheeler: *laughs* Of course, if we don't do it, they write us up for being lazy.
Alex Eames: Of course. And I have this insane notion of getting to go home tonight, so I might have to just get the work done
Megan Wheeler: Okay, you have a point there.
Alex Eames: So, all in all, they win. We must work.
Megan Wheeler: They do. Damn system.
Alex Eames: *smirks* Too late to back out now.
Megan Wheeler: Once you're in, you're in. *smiles*
Alex Eames: *nods* No wonder we drink coffee and eat doughnuts. *chuckles*
Megan Wheeler: *chuckles* Sounds about right. *clicks the pen again and looks at her paperwork*
Alex Eames: Are you hoping that if you stare at it long enough, it will get done?
Alex Eames: My partner tries that...
Megan Wheeler: I expect the ink to appear on the page, yes.
Alex Eames: If you learn that trick, please do share.
Megan Wheeler: Then I wouldn't have the monopoly on it!
Alex Eames: Oh, c'mon, surely you're share your good fortune. I'd be willing to pay
Megan Wheeler: In that case, of course I'd share.
Alex Eames: *smirks* Good.
Alex Eames: I appreciate that
Megan Wheeler: *laughs* God, I hate paperwork. *might be finally starting to fill it in*
Alex Eames: Would it help if I got some pom poms out and cheered you on?
Alex Eames: *smirks*
Megan Wheeler: ...I'd pay for pictures of that.
Alex Eames: ...really? *wondering how much money she could make off this--these are hard times after all*
Megan Wheeler: As long as I could turn around and mark 'em up a bit. I pay you, they pay me...
Alex Eames: I want a larger cut of the profit...
Alex Eames: *matter-of-factly*
Megan Wheeler: We can discuss the payment plans.
Alex Eames: Great. I'll see you in my office later. *smirks*
Megan Wheeler: *laughs*
Alex Eames: *chuckles, amused*
Megan Wheeler: Proof that paperwork is bad for the head.
Alex Eames: I'll agree to that. But, c'mon Megan, were you a cheerleader at high school?
Megan Wheeler: No, I wasn't. *chuckles*
Alex Eames: *laughs*
Megan Wheeler: ...Were you?
Alex Eames: Nooooooo. Although, I'll admit to having found myself at try outs.
Megan Wheeler: ...Oh, to have a video of that.
Alex Eames: Yes, well, I'm thankful it doesn't exist
Alex Eames: *smirks*
Megan Wheeler: Tragic.
Alex Eames: Not from where I'm sitting. Could do with a celebratory parade.
Megan Wheeler: *laughs*
Alex Eames: *smirks*
Megan Wheeler: It would be online. Immediately.
Alex Eames: *grimaces* I would cause serious bodily harm to the person who would post it
Megan Wheeler: I could take you.
Alex Eames: I didn't say you would see it coming
Megan Wheeler: *smirks* I could still take you.
Alex Eames: You think highly of yourself, don't you? *smirks back*
Megan Wheeler: *oh-so-sweetly* Compared to you.
Alex Eames: Funny, I don't recall you ever trying. You'd need to give it a shot first before you make claims like that.
Megan Wheeler: Bah, some things you just know.
Alex Eames: No, see, some things you foolishly believe. *smirks*
Megan Wheeler: *laughs*
Alex Eames: *chuckles*
