TBAY Hello everyone

[dungrollin]

Interior/Morning: The cataloguing office.  The staff are on coffee 
break.  Magda rises from her new desk and stretches, then ambles 
over to the biscuit tin.

Magda: People who don't snip properly or adequately (or - 
especially - at all) should die.  Period.

Ginger: Amen to that.  Same goes for people who just start in with 
their part of the post with no break from what they are quoting.  
And poepel hoo dont uze gud speling.

Carolyn:
A lot of people should die. Period. So far we have killed over 30000 
of their effusions, and counting. Keep up the good work.

(There is a crash from a dark corner of the room as Dungrollin falls 
off her chair in shock)

Dung: Erm... Carolyn?  Miss?  Chief?  Have I been misreading your 
accent?  They're *full stops*.  Full stop.

(Everyone ignores Dung)

Ginger (jovially): Welcome aboard, Magda, we're glad to have you!  
Your turn to bring treats (hint: Carolyn likes alcohol).

Carolyn: Trust me, it's the only way to approach cataloguing. 
Considered soberly, the full madness of the project is somewhat 
daunting.

Dung: Aha.  It all begins to make sense.  Miss got plastered one 
night and said "Hey, I've got this *greaaat* idea..." 

(general tutting, and rolling of eyes, as if Miss would do something 
like that... and, even if she *would*, as if anyone would be unwise 
enough to snigger about it in public)

Dung: Hello Magda, and welcome.  

(Dung takes Magda aside)

Dung (stage whisper): Listen, some advice... Miss is the boss, do 
what she says or she gets scary. (Looks around) Well, some of the 
cataloguers are quite scary too. Oh, and pick an implement for post-
rejection.  I think sword, cutlass, machete - all the stylish ones 
have gone.  I ended up with a chainsaw.  Not too much finesse, but 
blimey - it gets through them like a hot knife through erm... you 
know.  Once you get it started up, at least - the motor's got a bit 
of a cough... it... erm...

(Dung becomes aware of a pair of eyes boring into her back)

Dung: Er... Well I've been really busy... Haven't had the chance to 
do any cataloguing... (winces, remembering the List Of Pathetic 
Excuses post) ...Better get back to work.
