I LOLed

Having been working in the office for nearly two months, I think I'm getting used to this 9-5 Monday to Friday routine and the corporate environment, which is good. I thought I would be the type of person who cannot stand this schedule.

The Unit I work in is quite small, and we aren't in the HQ building in Gatineau. So it's a bit like an isolated large family. I can remember everyone's name now and know how they smell like (this sounds really creepy), the food they like, and when they like to come in and leave.

So today at the staff meeting, I wasn't really paying attention and started imagining things. All the people around the table just suddenly turned into the friends whom I spent the summer with. I thought, what would happen if these friends and I work together in the same office...

Say if we run a company called "We Do Watermelons", located on the 4th floor of a renovated 1930s building in Gastown, which imports exotic watermelons from all over the world and sell it to the curious Canadian public. Anyway this is just an arbitrary work setting.

And then we have Jessie doing watermelon marketing (I'm just classifying people by what they do right now)

Melody does the hiring people to sell watermelon part.. what do they call that HR (and somehow this seems like a very weird match for melody AHHAHA)

Heather works with her numbers, counting watermelons

Sarah examines watermelons (that's biology ain't it?!)

Judy makes watermelon artworks

Ryanbo can make programs about Watermelons

Amy (crap I forgot what Amy does in sfu), but for now, Amy can eat watermelons and rate them

Rachel is not making up her mind so Rachel you can be the boss for now. FOR NOW.

and Sherry... Sherry... Sherry can make very beautiful maps about watermelons.

In the morning, Amy and Sarah might be the first one to arrive in the office, because they seem to be very capable of getting up early. And then the rest would come in. And there will be Rachel being her usual self, screaming into the phone in her little cubicle, "NOOOOOOOOOO I WILL NOT SELL MY WATERMELONS TO YOU FOR THAT PRICE WHO DO YOU THINK I AM". Judy will be speaking to her watermelon drawings in her office, "aren't you just so pretty you cutie watermelons!"

During lunch time, Amy has a lot of food packed already, but she will still join Sarah, Melody and Heather to have high tea, Korean BBQ, and maybe what8ver if time permits. Sherry and Rachel might go on urbanspoon to look for a nearby brunch place to try it out. Judy will cook some kind of her invention in the kitchen. Ryanbo will still be very strict about his diet and so I can't say for certain how he will use his lunch time.

In the afternoon, there is a staff meeting. There's Rachel giving an update on Watermelon prices... Melody talking about training people to sell watermelons.. Amy saying organic watermelons tastes very nice.. Judy giving an update on her latest advertisement for watermelons.. And then Jessie and Melody might get into a disagreement on how watermelon should be sold, it could get aggressive unless Heather and Ryanbo do something about it. Rachel might just lose her patience and scream, "STOP IT YOU IDIOTS IDIOTS".

When I thought about this, I could help but lower my head and giggle to myself in real life. But it was getting too loud that I had to cover my mouth and grin quietly, some colleagues glanced at my direction. Thank goodness it was nearly the end of the meeting and I could escape to the washroom to laugh a bit harder.
