Georgia

I bet everyone here will like sprinkles. Especially Kristen from Accounting. She keeps sneaking off to the break room to get snacks. That baby in her belly is going to be the cutest, chubbiest little thing ever. I just know it. I’ll need to stop by the store on my way home to grab more sugar. My second attempt at baking cookies for Mrs. Wilson failed, and I’m out of ingredients to make new ones. For her, I think I should go a different route. I hope brownies are more her speed.

Jim pushes his mail cart past my desk. “We leave in five.”

I hold my hand up, and he gives me a high five as he passes my desk. I look around to make sure no one is watching as I tab out on my computer and click my nanny cam that I set up. Mr. Grumpy Pants sits on top of his cathouse with the sun shining down on him as he snoozes away. I jump, tabbing back out when my phone rings.

“It’s a beautiful day at Baxter International. This is Georgia. How can I help you?” I’ve been trying out different ways to answer the phone. Mr. Baxter has a detailed list of things for me to do, but he didn't say how I should answer the phone. Only that I have to answer it, and if I step away from my desk, to forward it to the seventeenth floor receptionist. So I’m taking the liberty to answer it how I feel is best.

“His food is here,” Janet from the first floor reception desk says. “I’m sending it up so we can head out. Nancy swapped lunch hours with me so I can come.”

“Awesome sauce. Down in a sec. Bye.” I hang up. Everyone here has been so nice. I’ve already made a handful of friends. Mr. Baxter is the only one who is extra prickly. I’m hoping he just has a case of the Mondays and that eventually he’ll lighten up a bit.

I did notice that not a lot of people around here are fans of his. They often refer to Mr. Baxter as him. I won’t even get into the other words they call him. I’d hate for everyone to dislike me at my office. I’m kind of hoping that maybe at lunch I can talk him up a little so some of the staff will like him more, but the man is giving me nothing to work with here. He’s short and to the point. He doesn’t even give me time to respond before he’s dismissing me. That’s okay, though. I’ve got a pocketful of sunshine that I’m going to share with him.

I stand as the man with the food comes down the hallway toward me. He looks a few years older than me with blond hair and blue eyes. He actually looks a lot like Mike.

“Hi!” I chirp, meeting him halfway. “I'm Georgia.” I smile at him and hold out my hand to shake his.
