More Creeping

                I think I love my internship. No where else could I hear all kinds of completely random things. Here are a few more dialogues I eavesdropped/creeped on:

"Are we green?"

"We’re green."

"Good, because I don't want any red. You better not come because i don't want any red. We’re green."

"Yes, we're green"

"So how good are we on a scale of 1 to 43?"

1: "I'm going to tell her that we need to take them all back because they're 'destroyed'."

2: "Yeah, do it."

*Person 3 walks in*

1: "Hey, we need to return all those shirts."

3: "What? Why? What's wrong with them?"

1: "I think some moths got into it."

3: "Moths? How? Where are they?"

1: "I think they flew out when he opened the box."

3: "What?" *Goes and looks* "You mean these frayed edges? I paid a whole $10 more for this!"

1&2: *Cracks up*

3: "They look good!"

1: "I hate this! Why is it already torn?"

2: "it's hip! It’s the style now."

1: "I don't need something that's already torn! And why is it so tight? It's work for crying out loud!"

That day, we got the new promotional Lync shirts, and they had those frayed edges – half the people on the floor love it, half the people on the floor hate it. Personally, I really liked it, but it really fueled a bunch of conversations. And it’s extremely amusing listening to people who are in their forties or fifties argue about what’s “hip”. I definitely died of laughter that day… but only on the inside.

Dialogue is definitely missing without actions written next to them. Some of them seem kind of too serious, or they simply don’t make sense if I don’t add in the actions in asterisks. Just like in stories such as Burning House, most of the story describes the actions instead of the speech. The speech is clipped and cryptic, and one can only infer the true meaning of what is being said or understand the subtext by reading into the descriptions of the character’s actions.
