Boredom and science; aren't they interchangeable?
I never knew there were multiple ways of being bored out of your mind. When I ascended or did whatever the hell that was, I thought that boredom was my punishment for making the wrong choice and being stupid. Now that I'm working for Woflram & Hart, I think that boredom is my punishment for Angel making the wrong choice and being stupid. It's based

The word echoed off more than a few walls, building up that sort of well-traveled sound a thing can sometimes get. It even took me a while to recogzine the particular make up of my own name...almost as if I hadn't heard it in a while.
"Can I come in? It's not important."
"Cordy?" I called out to her, only to have my own voice break off suddenly as my thead thwapped solidly with the underside of the desk. Because...well because I was under it? And then I remembered. I had headed down in that direction to pick up a pencil I had dropped, only to discover how nice and inviting it could actually be down here. The carpet was soft, the shadowed colors soothing, and there was only one way in or out so that made it easy to def.....and I definitely needed my lunch ( ... )

Nothing exciting. And here I was thinking that the law firm that tried to take us out again and again used to put a lot of effort into it. Instead they were probably playing computer solitaire while they called the right connections.
The good guys have to do all of the hard work.
Which only reminds me that we don't fall into that category anymore. Not professionally anyway, and I have a feeling that our professional lives are what the Powers That Be are going to take into account the next time they try to help us.
"I don't suppose you are hungry?"
If that's an offer I am. My bad habit of skipping breakfast only classifies as a negative whens someone mentions food before I've had lunch. With all of the nothing that's happening, I'm surprised at myself for forgetting to eat. Usually I'd think of that; it's a damn good distraction.

"Starved," I echoed, it hitting me just how much I had been missing Cordy lately. She got me in that silent but made me smile way, and she wasn't afraid to admit she was starved. "I think there should be time," I offered. "All the samples I collected yesterday are still being analyzed...I guess there are only so many things big bucks can speed up. And I haven't heard from Angel about any new projects."
Sitting up even straighter at my desk I reached into the right drawer to pull out a roladex... my special roladex. The one with all the phone numbers and fun little business cards for every decent to excellent restaraunt from nearby that delivered ( ... )

Fred not hearing about anything is a comfort. I've heard zilch in the way of progress or pop up issues. We have enough issues right now. The new Hellmouth combined with the projects that we were already working on could keep us working twenty four seven for weeks unless we get some decent breakthroughs; one lunch won't make that much of a difference in how long it'll take us to get a grip.
All of the running around, trying to solve unanswered questions, and somehow finding more of them is starting to take it's toll on our friendships. I won't let it finish, so we're having lunch. We earned this.
"I would say pick your poison. Well, I guess I did just say it, but I wouldn't mean it because that just isn't something you kid about around here. So I didn't...mean it. But,how does Chinese sound?"We can't even joke about being ( ... )
