Hello? MG?
Oh, hi, Alana. Come on in.
I am in. Nina told me to come and see if you need any supplies. But that's not policy. Just because you switch desks, doesn't mean you get all new things.
Oh, yeah, well, I left a lot of stuff at the old desk for Joni. So I could use a few things for in here, some post-its, a new sharpie--
Well, don't tell me. You still have to go through the SNM, just like everybody else. Just because you accidentally have an office now doesn't mean you can just boss people--
Alana, you just asked if I needed anything. I'm not bossing anyone around. I'll do that online-ordering-whatever thing as soon as they get me networked onto this computer. Anyway, there's no hurry. I'm just clearing out all the papers and action figures that Rob left here, and helping Joni get acclimated, so I don't need anything right off anyway.
Well, good. Because you can't just snap your fingers and get new office supplies like magic. Even if that is how you got this office.
Hey, look, Alana, I'm as surprised as anyone else about this. I know it's just a fluke, and it's just temporary until they figure out exactly what's going on. It could have been any one of us, you know? I'm just going to get settled in for now, and enjoy actually being able to see daylight for a change.
Well, I hope you don't get too used to it. You're going to have to go back to a cubicle as soon as they get everything straightened out.
Alana, I don't doubt it for a second. In the meantime, could you just pull that door shut behind you when you go?
