Coworker Conversations
Me, reading editorial notes out loud: ... doesn’t currently feel like a strong enough reason for Maggie to go through this whole ordeal. Could we get a more emotional moment... Gordon: Really? I thought it was strong enough. Me: It's not. Gordon: Why? Me, trying to rub away fatigue with
