The Journey To HR, Part 62!

Then came a knock at a door.

We looked around for the door.

The door we were looking for opened.

We backed up.

Scared.

“There’s a door?” I asked as sweat poured from my face.

“Of course there’s a door!” said the HR lady. “How do you think you got in here?”

I thought about that for a moment.

“Oh yeahhhhhhh,” I finally replied.

The sweat stopped.

A head poked around the door.

“Time to leave,” said the head. “We’re closing up for the day!”

I started sweating again.

“A floating, speaking head!” I exclaimed.

The HR lady slapped me HARD.

“It’s our security guard, you moron!” she said and then slapped me again.

“But of course!” I exclaimed yet again.

The sweat stopped yet again.

“Okay,” said the HR lady. “Let’s pack up and go home and we’ll continue this tomorrow.”

“But…” I started saying.

“Just forget about it!” said the HR lady. “We’re out!”

“Don’t do it! Don’t! You… I got nowhere to go! I got nowhere to g… I got nothin’ else.” I said as tears and snot began streaming down my face.

The HR lady looked at me sadly.

She grabbed her purse off the desk and headed towards the door.

The she stopped.

She sighed.

I stood there in that there room as the tears and snot continued flowing.

She sighed again.

She walked over to me and wiped away the tears and snot with the back of her hand.

Then she picked me up and carried me out the door.

Star Child Two hummed something that sounded like “Up Where We Belong”.

“HEY! Seriously! WHAT ABOUT ME?” came that voice. Again.
