I was envious because at work, I never got the credit I deserved. I did all the hard work of making sure the network is running perfectly. I see everyone else get the kudos for landing that big client. Granted, I don't interact with our clients, but if the network goes down our clients are mad. I keep things afloat. Well, behind the scenes I do. _You are also not paid enough either. Remember that._ &quot;Sometimes it's hard to compose my thoughts with you talking all the time!&quot; Maybe I was a bit hard on him. _And then there is her._ &quot;Of course, I was getting to that part.&quot; In the office was a very nice, sweat, pretty, and funny girl. But, I had not asked her out yet. Wait, that did not involve envy. _Because you're scared to._ &quot;No. The timing is not right.&quot; I responded, as I pulled at my collar. &quot;What timing is not right?&quot; a voiced asked from the doorway. 2008-04-07T15:19:11Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/26791 <p>I like this series, it&#8217;s really good.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/26791?basename=54822 2008-04-07T15:19:11Z flute faerie http://ficlets.com/authors/user_6061 <p>I try to refer to the color or say something that could infer the color.
