Iwas plowing my way through my emails, grumbling under my breath. A coffee on my chair arm was cooling, forgotten. Bridget looked up from her Canvas screen and said, “I think it’s about time you hire an administrative assistant to take all that paperwork off your hands.”
“But then I’d just need to find another reason to complain. It really doesn’t bother me that much.”
Bridget gave me the evil eye. “It’s not you I’m concerned about, Whiney McWhineyFace. Some peace and quiet would be nice.” She gestured at her Canvas. “I’m trying to organize our adventure into a report for the UFS Exobiology Society.”
“Oh. Sorry, Bridge. I should do this in virt anyway. Get it done faster.”
“Sounds good. And when you get back, I’ll make you a martini.”
“No, that’s fine—I’ll make them. Want one now?”
