Pretty Woman — The 9 to 5 Series

Office-Themed Micro Fiction Based on My Real-Life Experiences

So whenever MaleSecretary sees a particular pretty coworker here, he offers her a treat. Then he says something to the effect, “How are you today,” in a weird play-voice that’s a mix of Kermit the Frog, Elmo, and Al Pacino’s Scarface’.

In fact, MaleSecretary carries on entire conversations with her in this annoying voice. These nerve-grating conversations can go on for up to 5 minutes or more.

As MaleSecretary’s office locale is right outside my door, I can unfortunately attest to the fact that that’s now his “goto” voice whenever he’s talking to her.

MaleSecretary is pushing 60 years old.

The moral of the story?

Men are never too old to act a fool for a pretty woman.
