Queen Becca (thought I'd give you a taste of what royalty feels like)

If I was writing a book, here is what the current chapter would say:

It's 9:04 and she ran out of work to do 10 minutes ago. A fax just came in. She hoped it was something to do...A TIMESHEET!!!! Her heart races with excitement as now she will need to take it up to the receptionist to have her enter it into the system, an act which should take about 15 seconds in its entirety.

DONE!

Back to nothing to do.

I got offered a free personal training session last night at the gym just for bringing the trash out of the women's locker room. I feel like the action does not quite justify the reward.

Just when she thinks life will go back to the regular mundane of starring at her computer, the accounting woman comes in with work to do. Rachel anxiously accepts this stapling challenge and takes the invoices from her co-worker. She works diligently on the project while talking to friend Riley on facebook chat about what to put into her essay for the FBI. One day Riley will look back on this moment and realize that her wild success in the FBI was all thanks to Rachel and her help with the essay.

After her accounting work is completed, Rachel decides to check the results of her Luna points contest. Looks like only Carrie Zinck wins her 50 Luna Points. However, she enjoyed this contest and has decided to continue to do it every Monday, but she'll have to lower the prize to 25 Luna Points. After all, she can't have Luna Points losing their value. That thought then reminded Rachel about an article she read yesterday about how the US government made a big no no when they accidentally printed 1 billion $100 bills (that's $100 billion) wrong. Now they have to lock them up and destroy them. "Silly government," she thought. "I'd never make that mistake with my Luna Points," which she is positive will become and official currency within the next 10 years.

But the moment of reflection is over as she is pulled back into the cruel reality of having nothing to do. She greatly anticipates lunch, not for the lame-o lunch she packed with nothing delicious in it, but because she brought her laptop and video camera with her to work today to edit videos from the previous weekend. She is excited to re-live the high times that were had. She is glad she thought of this because it reminded her that she needed to plug in her video camera so it could charge. Thank you memory!

Suddenly, Rachel's boredom is interrupted by the sounds of running and ruckus. She jumps out of her chair to see what all the commotion is about. She races to the lobby and beholds the sight of a Norweigen Dance Troop doing their routine of Dancing Queen by ABBA. Rachel is very impressed and claps so vigorously that her hands fall off.

Handless, she strolls back to her desk to resume her boredom. Perhaps she shall watch How I Met Your Mother to kill the time. She'll probably just take a nap though.

Goodnight!

THE END!
