Today's forcast: Kidnappings and Firings
9:45am, Google Chat between me and Stephanie.

S: What are you doing today?

K: Working.

S: Working is rubbish. I'm taking a half-day and you should too.

K: But I'm taking next Monday off. And we're having a Wall of Fame today. So I would like to be here for that. And I should work on charts.

S: Aww, look at you. You're such a good company girl.

K: Thanks.

S: That wasn't a compliment.

2:00pm, Stephanie calls me.


"Are you ready skivv off work yet?"

"Well, I have to do an FMA chart."

"For fuck's sake!"

"I'll tell you what. I need to pick up my car at the garage. You can take me to the garage if you like."

"Can I take you to the garage and then keep you?"

"I'm...Stephanie, I'm at work. I can't just up and leave."

"Are you done with all your deadlines for the day? Miss J is cool. She'll let you leave."

"That's not the point."

"Finish your fragging chart. I'm coming to take you to the garage."

---

2:15pm, Stephanie arrives at the office.

"Come on, I'm kidnapping you."

"OK, hang on. Miss J, Stephanie is taking me to pick up my car...and then she, uh, she wants me to...she might... keep me. Is there anything you need be--"

"LET'S GO!"

---

2:17pm, in Stephanie's car.

"Do you mind if I run a quick errand before I take you to your car?"

"No.."

---

2:36, Phoenixville.

"Stephanie?"

"Yeah?"

"We're at a bowling alley."

"Yes!"

"I thought you had to run an errand."

"I do!"

"...And...it's at a bowling alley?"

"Yes! It was in my list of errands to bowl two games with you and Henry."

"I'm supposed to be at work! I can't just go bowling."

"Why not?"

"It's taking advantage of Miss J's kindness. What if something goes wrong and they need me and I'm not there. I'll get fired!"

"I kidnapped you. You don't have a car. You have no choice. Let Miss J fire me."

"..."

"Are you going to sit in the car and wait for me and Henry while we play? Or are you coming in with us?"

"Coming in. I guess I can make up the time."

"For fuck's sake. Get your ass in the alley. I'm about to house you."

That Stephanie is a bad seed, what with her Dr. Who and bowling during the workday. Next thing you know, you'll be eating fake vegan cheese and saying how bloody brilliant it is.

Do you think she'd be my friend and take me along next time?

Just you wait till next time. Who knows what will happen then! (YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW! But, thankfully, YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER!)

And to dearest anon, I would most certainly kidnap you as well, especially if you are Renee, whom I will see at dinner without having to go to all the efforts of abduction. Which is good, because pregnant women move slowly, and covert kidnappings are generally lightning-fast.

It would have been rad if you were kidnapped in the TARDIS.

Unrelated, my Netflix from wisdom tooth pullage have been sent in with promises of at least two Dr. Who DVDs getting to me by Friday. Woo.

Dearest annon happens to be Miss J, who posted under secrecy since blogger commenting was being weird. I think you would kidnap her too. You would kidnap her and force her to watch Blackpool and we would all do the Boy With The Thorn In His Side dance and it would be rad.

andsheewas -- Doctor Whos, I will watch them with you! Also, I miss you. I'm glad the tooth yanking went well.

I AM TOTALLY GOING TO KIDNAP MISS J NEXT TIME! I won't say when or how or what we'll end up doing, but I will say this: It's going to be spaffingly good.

Excellent. I will let you know when they arrive. It will probably be a weekend deal, especially if I'm still in recovery mode.
