The Modern Workplace and You: Friday, Period 1

"Oh my god, why did you come?" Cheryl greeted the class like usual, looking hungover (also like usual.) "Like...seriously. Last week should've been the last week. You should all be blowing this off right now."

Was it obvious enough that she didn't want to be here? She could try harder. As it was, she was leaning against a table in the Danger Shop and looking dangerously close to just going to sleep.

“Uh … we didn’t write a final,” Pam said, helpfully. “We kinda didn’t figure you little shits’d show up for one. Or, like, survive the rest of the semester.”

Seriously, what were they DOING here? Even the Gun Safety class had figured out that Pam was grossly incompetent after, like, two classes. Did they have nothing better to do? If so, maybe they didn’t know about enough illegal drugs just yet. Because cocaine was way more interesting than this shit.

Cheryl could have written an entire syllabus of her own on that. Acid, Blow and Ecstasy: Improving Your Day-to-Day Life Through Chemical Imbalance.

Don't think she hadn't thought about it.

"Anyway…." Cheryl sighed, waving behind her to where the students may have possibly noticed the obstacle course that had clearly just been set up...oh, like three minutes before they'd gotten there.

And none of it looked like anything they'd covered in class. Oops.

“Take the Middle Management Challenge!” Pam announced, like she was the happiest, fattest Vanna White ever. “See if you can run the gauntlet of the modern workplace environment and escape with your sanity!”

None of this had anything to do with a modern workplace environment, either. And most of it didn’t look all that safe. It was the Danger Shop, so you probably couldn’t be permanently disfigured, right?

"And don't try any of that 'myyyyy workplace won't have these obstacles!' bullshit," Cheryl cautioned, frowning. "Arson is an incredibly widespread problem. All of these are. But especially arson."

She probably shouldn't have smiled for that, but oh well.

So, #1, there's no real way to change the washer fluid, just a place to refill it when it runs out, and #2, the washer fluid has absolutely zero to do with whether or not the car starts.

Joker doubted either teacher knew either of those things, or that they even cared.

It didn't matter, because #3, the instructions said to change the fluid, but they didn't say into what. A quick trip to the Cake Decorating station later, and abracadabra! He had changed the plain, ordinary washer fluid into very soapy, extremely watered-down icing! "Ta-da!"

But why stop there? He covered a good chunk of the engine block in various colors of icing, and wrote "Happy Birtday Mr. Orange Car" on it in very loopy cursive. Then he took a step back to admire his work.

...And then he frowned. "Dammit, forgot an H." Because that was the only thing wrong, here.

"I... think you'd break your teeth if you tried to eat it," Joker pointed out. "And I'm pretty sure Mr. Orange Car hasn't ever gotten anything for his birthday and didn't expect to. He got icing in his washer fluid -- that's a pretty cool present, right?

"Well, you can," Joker allowed, "but, I mean, there's a whole table full of icing over there" -- i.e. the cake decorating station that she herself had set up -- "that's not all dirty and greasy."
