Excerpt:
Group memos like this one find their way into my inbox almost every day and are
typically filled with nothing more than boring office news. An announcement about Sally-so-and-so’s upcoming retirement, or a notice about Joe-shmoe’s birthday next week. Nothing unusual or earth shattering. This particular memo started out that way, nothing worth panicking over. That is, until I arrived at the second paragraph and came to the two little words that currently have me in a choke hold.
Two. Little. Words.
Nicholas Kerkley.
Okay — dream or hallucination? If I’m expected to live until the end of this e-mail, it has to be one of the two. A dream is easy enough to check, right? If this is a dream then something nonsensical or fantastic will be going on, like one of my co-workers will be Paula Deen from Food Network which, in my dream universe, will somehow make perfect sense. Or, I’ll open the door to our office and it will lead into my grandma’s kitchen. Then there’s the ever popular — if not a bit cliché — one where I’ll be naked.
I look around the office: no Paula Deen. The office door is open: no grandmother’s
kitchen. Last but not least, I glance down at myself, hoping — yes, hoping — to find that I’m only wearing underwear, but find myself fully clothed.
