Orientation

[newhire]

[ As you approach the classroom, at the designated time for this "orientation" you were told about-- a voice carries from just beyond the door. ]

--they've all been wiped?

[ There's an awkward pause and then an even more awkward laugh. ]

Bwah?? No, I-- I just thought it would be cool to see what she was working on. Fine, fiiiine.

[ But when you come in, she immediately shuts off her phone and sits it on top of the laptops in front of her. ]

Oh. Hey guys! Wow is it that time already? And he's not even here yet... Oh well! Welcome!!

Then I'm at my limit for it today. Got a question?

How do you feel about Todd?

[foo_bar]

Was I not clear enough in the slide?

Let's just say myself and Mr. Hale, colloquially known as Todd, don't get along.

Good enough for me, man. I don't like you because you're one of Them, you know? But in this moment, I appreciate you.

It's nice to be appreciated, no matter how fleeting it is.

And you should be glad, you don't have to deal with Todd daily.
