Round 1 goes to Sarah

Guys! Guess what. Today at our staff meeting I decided to bring up my beef with the constant silence in the office. So, at the end of the meeting, I raised my shakey hand and mustered my voice to sound more confident than it felt. I told them that all the silence in this office is a little unnatural, and it's driving me crazy. I told them that I'm a chatty girl, and I need to ability to interact with people every once and a while, and I think it's fair that the office be a place where people are allowed to talk. The men all stared at me for a minute- not quite sure what to think about this American girl, and then one of them piped up and agreed! The big boss (who is a little afraid of me, I've been told), avoided all form of confrontation and said it would be a good idea to facilitate a bit more communication... so shazam. I win! Back to work; I'll write more later.
