Hey, MG. How's it going?

Well, Jay. The weather is crap, but there's no one in my seat. So, okay, I guess.

Why would someone be in your seat?

Maybe I'm being paranoid. Or maybe he was just joking, but, I don't know. Maybe I misunderstood? God, I'm all in knots about this.

Knots? Who was joking about what?

Last week, the tech-guy-slash-extortionist said something about wiping my computer clean for a new person who was starting this week. But nobody else has said anything about it.

Hm. That is strange. Did you ask anyone about it?

Sort of. Sort of indirectly. What can I do? Just say, hi, how was your weekend, are you replacing me without telling me?

Yeah, I see what you mean. But otherwise, you're just kind of waiting for the wet shoe to drop all the time, right?

The wet shoe?

Yeah, whatever that expression is. You're just waiting. Wouldn't it be better to just ask and find out?

I guess. Unless it's bad news. Then maybe it would be better not to know. Although, I'm not even sure what would be worse - if I'm fired, or if I'm not.

Well, either way, me and Roger are ordering Chinese for lunch - you're welcome to join in!

Hm. Thanks, Jay.
