Recently: "Now, Alex . . ." She sat down at in a cubicle. It was small, enough for a desk, with a computer, telephone, pictures and other office necessities. There were even more than a few personal items. It seemed that Mrs. Herbic and her Big Brown Eyes were very . . . tidy. She had hand wipes, Purell, tissues and sanitizing spray. Everything was neatly organized from tallest to smallest. Including the computer. Yup, this woman is from Jupiter. Just my luck. I'm stuck with a shitty job and a Jupiteran. You thought.

"Alex, you're resume is . . . well, it shows that you haven't had the most . . . experience. I think that someone else is . . . best for the job." She said to you, holding you're resume. Fuck.

"uh huh . . ." You said frowning and biting you're lip.

"It's just that, we have so man more . . . eligible applicants that have more experience than you." Big Brown Eyes said, handing you you're resume. "Besides. Here at Happy Time. You have to be happy. We look for people who smile and laugh. I think you need to work on it." She said to you lifting up the corners of her mouth in a WIDE smile. Is it humanly possible for a smile to be the size of a banana? For Big Brown Eyes it is. You though to you're self getting up from the chair. You shoved you're way out fo the office. Once you were outside you turned around and looked at the big smiley face. You took a black marker you had in you're bag and drew a mustache on the yellow ball of happiness. You then continued to draw devil horns, complete with a tail coming up around the side of the face. Feeling satisfied you made you're way towards home.

In the middle of town, you decided to stop for coffee. You walked through the front door, causing a bell to sound. There were a few customers crowded around a T.V. There was a news reporter talking about a NASA ship that had been launched an hour or two ago. You ordered a cup of coffee with an M&M cookie.

"Thanks Jim. I'm Dolores Geth. We here at the NASA launch station talking with Bob Hammermen. Do you think there's a possibility of something going wrong?" Dolores asked Bob. "Absolutely not Dolores, we've worked hard on this ship for 2 years now and we've tested every possible scenario and N4-14 has held fast." Bob said into the microphone.

You turned back to the woman behind the counter.

"Can I get you anything else Ma'am?" The girl asked you politely.

"Yeah, another life." You said to her. She laughed and rang you up.

"$4.32 please."

"Thanks." You said to her giving her exact change. You looked for an empty table and sat down. You watched Dolores interview Bob.

Sorry nothing interesting has happened yet. It'll get good in the next chapter. :)
