(Talking about runs on Twinkies)
Madelyn: Emily banned Twinkies in the office.
Emily: They’re still banned!
Madelyn: Maybe Josh won’t ban them when he’s EIC.
Josh: I don’t think I can ban something that doesn’t exist anymore. No triceratops allowed!
Madelyn: Emily should just say there is no news section this week.
Josh: We should just have a color by numbers on the first three pages.
Madelyn: No. No, no, no, no. No! No, no, no, no!
Anna: What is it?
Madelyn: I’m just going to ignore copy here. They don’t understand that “aflcio” is the actual username on Flickr, so they want me to capitalize and hyphenate it.
Emily: No.
Anna: No.
Madelyn: I feel vindicated.
Josh: You’re about to wake up.
(Emily is upset that Person’s Op is all women after already redoing it once because it was all Asian women.)
Emily: Try again! Third try! I’m going to keep calling you a racist.
Josh: How am I a racist?
Emily: A chauvinist!
Josh: How dare I ask a woman’s opinion.
Emily: How dare you ask a woman’s opinion on things.
(Later)
Emily: Stop being biased against your own gender.
Alan: Babies are beef.
Josh: Wouldn’t they be veal?
Madelyn: I don’t think our babies are fat enough to be veal. We need 50s babies where we fed them Karo syrup for 6 months.
Daniel: Kerosene?!
Josh: All of my articles were through last night.
Evan: You can leave early!
Emily: Heh, no.
Evan: Well earlier than, say, Madelyn.
Nicole: Aw, that was so mean!
(Only three people have shown up to the writer’s training workshop, where pizza is provided)
Emily: We should have said it was “mandatory”.
Josh: MANDATORY PIZZA!
Alan: I will write you a forum article. At some point. I just don’t have opinions about anything.
Josh: It doesn’t have to be big. Even if it’s little. Just water it and it will grow into a 4000-character article.
(Josh hands a board ed to Adam)
Josh: Would you be able to look at this thank you very much bye.
