Today, there was a mighty score for the Office Pirates in the eternal battle between we Pirates and the Cubicle Ninjas. Not only has the coffee in the break room been upgraded, but it was imbued with some sort of magical property that allowed me to get all of my work done today without complication. It was tasty and delicious and we even had real cream today for it, not that powdered crap or flavored girly creamer bullshit. Good ol’ juice from a cow.

No one has come into my cube asking stupid questions, all of my paperwork fell into place as I typed it and, most importantly, no one gave me any extra work today. The big boss gave me a bit of praise. This relaxing work day seems to bode well for me.

I suspect the cubicle ninjas are regrouping somewhere from their defeat to the office pirate. I suspect they are somewhere on the roof fiddling with the A/C that seems to be turned up full blast and wafting down upon me making my cube a chilly 40°. (Yes, I get cold when it’s 40°; I’m a wuss to cold. I admit it.) But, even with my fingernails turning blue, my work seems to be going smoothly. I thwart your attempts to ruin my good day you heinous ninjas. I shake my fist in your general direction and chuckle heroically. I am imbued with the coffee and nothing can dampen my spirits today!

Yet, there is a nagging in the back of my head.

Am I too at ease? Will they strike later this afternoon? Have I been lulled into a false sense of security?

My projects are going well. The one I lead on has started to really come together. I finished the paperwork I needed to on my other project (well, at least what I promised to get done this week). Later today, I won’t even be in my cube as I am scheduled to be in the lab all afternoon, all tomorrow and all Monday. I know that this is all balancing on a hair and it could break at any moment.

So, the battle with the cubicle ninjas seems to be going well, but how long will this unsettling security last? No matter, any break from the evils that the cubicle ninjas strike upon us is a welcomed one.
