Vinnie, can you please come in here a second?

Of course, sugar pea. What's going on? Did you look at those books I brought you?

Um, sort of. I was thinking maybe you could sort of give me the quick run-down on a few main points. Like, on an emergency basis.

Ooh, emergency feng shui. Dr. Vin sensei is in! What's the trouble? You want to arrange your desk to optimize your creative energies, right?

Well…

You want to figure out where on the desk you should put your computer to minimize the chance that it'll crash?

That would be good, too. But mainly--

Wait! Got it! You want to attract love! I should warn you, chickadeedle-dee, I can do that, but take it from me: you should be very, very careful about office romance.

God, Vin, no. Thanks, but no. I just want to know how to keep, um, obtrusive elements from coming in and sitting down and refusing to leave.

Oh, the ladies who lunch? Honey, that's an easy one.

Good. Do I need to buy an iron bell or an octagonal mirror or what? Just tell me, and I'm game.

You don't need that stuff. All you need to do is get rid of these extra chairs.

God! Of course! Vin, you're a genius.

Like the old chinese zen master sid, "If trouble has no place to sit, it will eat its lunch someplace else." Or something like that. I think it's in one of those books.
