Being called into HR on some bullshit...

I'm munching on a biscuit and an email popped up. Human Resources would like a quick word. That phrase, by the way, is never good news. It’s never about how well you did for getting into the office nearly on time or how dashing you look in your new shirt.

No, it's always the start of a mystery. What did I do? Who saw it? Was it about the thing with the stapler?

Suddenly you're walking the green mile past Linda from Accounts, who looks away, avoiding eye contact. And all you can think is: I hope this isn’t about the biscuits.
