"Morning Bob," she mumbled with a nod.
"Hi Mildred," he replied nervously.
"You're being replaced," she said, looking at the red marks on his portfolio.
"Why?"he said, choking back a squeak.
"You are lazy and no longer an asset to this company," she sneered.
"I can change my ways," he stammered.
"We have a corporate policy of no second chances. I hope that you understand," Mildred snapped, clearly annoyed.
"I need this job. I have two kids and a goldfish," Bob begged, tears welling up.
"Seek employment elsewhere," she said as Bob caught a particularly unpleasant whiff of her breath. "I suggest that you remove yourself from the premises."
"I don't know what to do now!" he said, nose running and and tears streaming. "I've worked so hard to get to my position."
"Mr. Bob, you no longer are a fry-cook at this McD'Arnolds."
I thought this blog was very cute because the whole time it seemed like the job was some big important job, when it really was only some fast food restaurant. Also I loved your description of Mildred, she didn't seem like a very clean or nice person.
ReplyDeleteThe ending of this blog shocked me. I loved the descriptiveness of this dialogue. It was just so ironic at the end, which made the story just so much better.
ReplyDeleteWow, Sienna, this dialogue kept me interested and engaged from beginning to end!
