Come On, Do It

It was a hard day at work. The girls and I were cranky. We wanted out. We started thinking of a way out from this hell hole. But we were all trapped. Trapped here til 5pm. And for what?

A pay check.

It was 3pm and the yawning started to set into several of the ladies here at work. The HR manager comes out and says she's tired and wished to escape. She says, "I can just pack it up and leave. I don't want to be here." Then one of the girls says, "So go. No one will tell." And the other girls all nodded an "okay" look, indicating it would be a secret. But as the policy states, we all had to work 8 hour days, Monday through Friday.

What luck.

Half hour later, one of the girls lets out a sigh. *sigh* "I need chocolate!" "Shhhh....don't say that!" Yells out another girl. "It's bad. I don't want to hear chocolate." All the girls started to talk about what they were craving then at that moment, when all of a sudden one of the girls stopped and looked up suddenly. She calls out in a whisper..."Lani Wonka." The girls stop talking and turn around. "Lani Wonka." Says another. Soon, with smiles on their faces, they all shout, "LANI WONKA! LANI WONKA!

Lani Wonka was the one to see when you needed a fix. She had it all. Cookies, asprin, Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold medicine, Hand Repair cream in Warm Vanilla Sugar with Shea Butter, and what they couldn't get enough of..........

chocolate.

"You're not suppose to have that, you know. It's in the policy book that I just read." Lani Wonka looked at her, along with the other girls who seemed a bit annoyed with her. "You're a new hire, dear. You don't know the ropes yet. Just watch."

The girls ignored the new girl and gathered around Lani Wonka as she opened the forbidden bag of chocolate. In there were all kinds of chocolate and one by one, the girls took a few. For a moment, the tired, bored girls that once wanted out, now fancied their desk while they ate their chocolate slowly. Their eyes closed and a smile of satisfaction appeared on their faces. One girl kicked up her feet and rested them on her desk. The new hire standing there silently watching everyone enjoy the forbidden, as well as watch out for anyone that was coming, afraid that someone would find out.

Lani Wonka stands there with her goodie bag and looks at the new girl and says, "Would you like one?" The other girls watched as if they were watching the soaps and this scene was important. They waited for her response. She looked around and noticed everyone watching her. Should she take one, she thought. Or should she follow the rules? "Come on, do it!" says one of the girls. But will she?

To Be Continued....
