With a resigned dread, Dan trudged from the elevator down the second row of cubicles to the sixth one on the left. This was his home away from home, and he paused with melancholy before plunging inside for the day’s drudgery. Ahead of him were the tinted windows that looked out on the tinted windows of the next building. He’d never been impressed with that bit of engineering.

Plopping down into his chair and dropping his attache case he hardly opened his eyes until the glimmer of yellow on his computer screen caught his eye. Another note. She was at it again. The war of words continued. It was a friendly war though, something to occupy their minds a bit more than the data entry to which they were both doomed.

He smiled as he read her note, “All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind—Aristotle” He had to chuckle. She was a quick one. He’d have to ask her out…sometime.

He felt it even apros pos of the note he’d left on her moniter, “Drive thy business or it will drive thee-B. Franklin.”

Great story! It really grabs your attention and emotions. I think that we all have felt that way walking in to work one time or another.

I love the idea of the post it notes on the screens with quotes on them…It’d be so cool if someone did that at my school or some other place I always go to…

Thanks for another idea to use my post-its! I am always looking for a way to use them creatively. I have even decided that after our book fair, I will be gathering all the (used) post-its from around the school so that I can build a bulletin board full of them!

Love it. It inspires me to be more creative with my daily post-it consumption than just making lists all over the house or a reminder to make coffee before I shower in the morning…

Great use of quotes! The post-its take on a friendly, flirty, persona. Great job!
