Jay, can I ask you something?
Sure, MG. What's up?
Do you think people here think I'm nice?
Nice?
Yeah, nice.
Hm. Why do you ask?
Well, Alana is always acting like I'm about to jump down her throat and I feel like everyone's been looking at me funny since I started my new year's resolution to be more friendly.
Huh. Well, I don't know. You have lots of great qualities.
Spare me the bullshit, Jay.
Ok, there, see? I mean, you're great. But 'nice' might not be your strongest feature. Also, well, since you brought it up?
Go on, I asked.
Well, that little sign you keep on your desk might give people the wrong idea.
This? That's just supposed to be funny! Anyone with a sense of humor would think it was funny.
Right. Of course. But to anyone else, it might come across as a little, maybe, threatening.
