ACT ONE
Barge into office, demanding those post-it note-like things used to highlight/mark a place in a book.
Co-worker: Procures a pocket-sized hardbound book from his pocket FULL OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF POST-ITS.
Me: What! This is incredible! I would sew a pocket onto all my clothes just to carry this around! Genius!
Co-worker: Or you could wrap it into a bandanna and wear it around your neck!
Me: Obviously!
[Stare at each other in suspicious recognition]
Co-worker: Well, we only have one. Let’s share.
Me: Let’s.
{Interlude}
[Returns it to his desk later, with a post-it note attached that reads: “Thanks! (you see what I did there)”]
ACT TWO
A Week Later: Walk into office
Co-worker: [immediately holds up post-it book with week-old post-it note still attached]. I love this note so much. I’ve just been keeping it here, on my desk, where I can see it because it’s so great.
Boss: rolls his eyes
