Haha, oh dear, Adele! I love how we get to see a little bit of everyone in this piece and Adele's reactions to all. I don't blame her for being both more cranky and also a bit more wimpy than usual - colds/flus have a way of doing that to you! I think I liked the part with the black ops team the best. They crack me up. Demy sounds interesting and I also laughed at the short one about firing the girl. Adam is a sweatheart!

Lol, the black ops team are such wisecracking smart-arses, Adele absolutely hates them. But yeah, this pretty much shows everyone around Nutriware so I think it was a good piece for introductions. Thanks!

Adele does not curl up and stay in bed. She's too, er, hell-bent. XD Thanks!

Good Lord. Adele does not handle being ill or in the slightest bit helpless well, does she? I can understand why, sort of-- she values being in control so much that being even the littlest bit out of control required to get sick just throws her incredibly. Also, this was really, really funny. Great job!

[ninablues]

Adele is a total control-freak and she's also pretty much obsessed with her job. Which is why things getting in the way of that always has funny effects. XD Thanks!

LOVE. :D Death Flu is clearly not getting Adele down in the slightest, and I loved seeing her interactions with everyone. Demy interests me, and it's nice to see Hallie again. Also, I hope she destroyed Newson's office.

Just another day at the Nutriware office. XD It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the prompt because Adele is so obsessed with her job. Thanks!

wow, I would not want to deal with Adele on one of her better days, but sick Adele sounds like a nightmare XD Fun for us readers, not for those around her! The scene with her in the cupboard is great. Does Adam Kirby know how to handle her?

and lol the last line. A+!

Adele relentlessly bullies Adam, but he's one of those terribly terribly nice people who is never anything but pleasant to her. It's kind of sad. But I guess she owes him one now!

Thanks!
