Workplace Confessional as One Act

Not-Even-Remotely-a-Sleuth Cubicle Monkey in The Case of the "Why the Fuck are you telling me this while I'm waiting for a report to print out as I am certain I neither acknowledged your presence nor said a peep in your general direction which, even if I had, MIGHT not really indicate that I was requesting info on the current health of your son but was, in fact, for a change of pace, being polite to a co-worker?"


Scene: Copier Room of an area employer

Characters: Cubicle Monkey and a female co-worker whom we will refer to as 'Far-To-Willing-To-Share-Any/All-Aspects-of-her-Life-Lady' or, for the sake of brevity, "Yakkity Yak"

And

ACTION!!!

Cubicle Monkey stands in-front of a copier/printer awaiting the 551 page report he had sent to it from his computer. Yakkity Yak approaches enters room and pulls up alongside CB. CB continues staring at the machine, not looking over to YY whom he *had* seen enter the room via his not-the-best-but-this-time-adequate peripheral vision. After a pregnant pause, Yakkity Yak matter of factly announces the following:

"My son has a bowel obstruction."

Curtains fall.

This short mystery (unsolved) starred yours truly as Cubicle Monkey and (unnamed) as Yakkity Yak and is based on an actual 'case' that happened mere hours ago.
