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
