Turtle & Canary, Wednesday

Hank was taking today to lecture Bob-chan about Squishies.

"Red is not a flavor! Red? Is a color. COL-OR. There are many flavors that can be red. Cherry, or watermelon, or strawberry, or fruit punch, or cinnamon, or... DON'T NOD OFF WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!"

Not that the robotic Squishy machine even could nod off, or that she was at all responsible for the flavor Red. Hank was in manager mode, and as far as he was concerned, a good manager was cruel to his subordinates. It was an efficiency thing. Give them an inch and they'd take a mile, and then there would be talk of whining to OSHA or forming a union or something else equally bad for profits.

"Do you understand? Do you 'get it' now? Keep this up, and I'm going to have to cut your lunch break!" Which Bob didn't take, and Hank wouldn't have the authority to cut anyway.

With that taken care of, he settled in at the counter and smiled cheerfully.
