I was at my desk working checking my emails when I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder and jumped 3 feet up in the air.

“Ooo, I’m sorry Linkie!”  It was Karen, looking very pretty, and very married as usual.

“Oh hey, what’s up?”

“I was wondering if you could run these names for me?”

“Sure!” I sprang up and took her list, then sat down to use our state of the art 30 year old terminal.  I felt her hand on my shoulder again as I started running through the names.

Ah man… 

I tried to concentrate but kept getting the names jumbled up.  Was that Billy or Willy?  Ah who cares, I’ll just make some names up to keep the searches going longer. 

We chatted up a little about life, news and politics until I was finished, then gave her the printouts.

“Thanks sweetie!”  She smiled, then turned and left.

I glanced over at one of my coworkers.  “I hate her.”

“Huh?”

“Why she gotta be like that man?”

“Like what?”

“You know, all nice and everything.”
