Earlier today I noticed an orange sticker on the ceiling above my cubicle.
"What's this orange sticker?" I asked, pointing to it even though no one was watching or listening. If I squinted, I thought I could make out the old Edmonton Telephones logo.
I stood in the doorway of my cubicle for a better look. At that moment, one of my colleagues passed by.
"Can you read that?" I asked.
"Property of Edmonton Telephones," she answered.
Vindication! Then I noticed that my co-worker seemed to be heading home a little early.
"Are you leaving us?" I asked.
"Doctor's appointment," she said. "I've been waiting two months to see this person."
"Have fun," I said, returning to my cubicle. Then, after she left, I reconsidered my statement.
"I suppose you're not likely to have fun at the doctor," I said, beginning to chuckle, "Unless she's a Doctor of Clown Studies!"
I barely managed to squeak out the punchline over my hysterical laughter, though my remaining co-workers did not seem amused.
