his coworker  a mite daunting would be a mild assessment  and she knew it  however during these daysthese infernal days when anyone and everyone professional was expected to be a fucking eunuch(an exact oxymoron -- he wondered if so many truly lacked the guile or were without sufficient commonsense not replete were therefore unable to recognise it is repulsive to leer or slobber and that laws had to be enacted to save them from themselves -- as if directives could) approached him favored him with a warm and sunny smile as he had no sooner climbed an industrial stepladder to its third and final step

              So she said

softly grasping the ladders aluminum shaft  I have to admit to you I listened in on your conversation with Robert late last week  You piqued my curiosity  I went to your blog   she paused  suspended her thought  and as she did the bone button at its buttonholethe two above it unbuttoned trembled   then slipped  and her blouse opened even more and availed him an ample view of her ample self through her very sheer upper cup bra cover 

the slip was very subtle

                 and as he listened to her his eyes took in her very large brown emphatic eyes and glanced the compliment of her aureole

I dont understand the diminishing number you cite

The countdown

Countdown

The number to the right index  either at the very beginning or under the dates at the end above attachments if I have placed any

Yes

Do you remember the last number

Fourteenhundred fortyone

Oh so youre current

I am Im infatuated    I might say if I wasnt at work  Im obsessed

  

Youre at work

I dont care  If Im to be myself I have to be honest

Honesty has its risks  Though youre safe with me

I know that

he smiled

she returned an extravagant white smile

then she said Fourteenhundred fortyone  A countdown

Yes  It is a countdown

To what

You didnt backtrack

No 

   

    You might think I would

But Ive been getting lost in your prior pieces

Oh goodness  Thank you

Youre thanking me I ought to be thanking you

Were thankful  We can leave it at that

Im obsessed  and you want to leave it at that

And thats a conversation for another venueyes  You are after all my superior

I am your superior   Yes I am

                                 I can tell you want to do

she smiled

Possibly

But back to the matter at hand(he noticed a quickening in her aureole)  My countdown

Yes  her voice broke a bit as she spoke

Had you backtrackedit wasnt far to go . .

. . I think I thought it might have been

I like that you think you thought  he smiled  It began at fourteenhundred sixtyone  On January Twentieth

Oh thats not long agoWait  Its a countdown

It is

Are you planning to post every day

As often as I canyes

Thats crazy  How can you possibly write something every day

Because I glimpse  he glimpsed  she smiled(she knew he wasnt surprised)  and those glimpses steal my pen

Steal  or steel 

Ah  you catch on

Im obsessed youll recall

Yes  I havent forgotten

And your countdownWhat are you counting down

I suppose I have to have you qualify your intellect if Im to be impressed or have an appreciation of your obsessionI dont think anyone wants to be the object of a superficially less-than-meaningful  say  unhealthy   obsession

a smile curled on her face   he could make out the tips of her canines     

Yes  How would you have me qualify  my obsession

he forced it  not that he had to force it because it was stuck right there in his throat  Gulp

which turned her curled smile into something more sensual  more wicked(oh the trials and tribulations of the workplace-and-what-comes-after-it)
Yes  Please   Qualify me

he glimpsed again   the quickening had firmed    her hand slipped the shaftshe regrasped it

What happened January Twentieth

The wheels came off the ride

Yes

Hence the countdown  Fourteenhundred fortyone

Yes  And today . .

. . Fourteenhundred forty

Yes  Good girl

I am good  a good girl

Thank Gawd for consensual sexual harrassment(I meant two Rs) in the workplace
