Over The Cubicle Chronicles: Next Station, Metro Center

Brooke's grown tired of the craziness of driving to work; the traffic and trying to find a parking space when she gets there. Now she's opted for a different kind of crazy, riding the Metro's Green line.

Jeffrey was standing in the office's kitchenette when Brooke arrived.

"Good morning Brooke."

"Good morning Jeffrey."

Jeffrey looked down at Brooke's tummy area.

"So you're missing motherhood and decided to wear your back pack on the front, or you just starting a new fashion trend?"

They both walk back towards their cubicles as Brooke begins to explain.

"I was on the train the other day and some kid was unzipping this man's back pack as he was going down the escalator. From that point on this baby is going in the front."

They both sit down in Brooke's cube as she continues.

"And this morning, I sit down next to a nice looking young lady and speak, "Good Morning," but when she spoke back it was like a green fog of garbage stench coming out of her mouth."

"Damn, did you get up?"

"Heck no, the train was packed and I wasn't about to stand all the way to Metro Center. But the worst part of it was she kept yawning and that green fog kept coming my way."

"What did it smell like?"  Jeffrey asked.

"It smelled like, butt, onions, and last night's dinner. So I just buried my nose in to my back pack until I got to my stop."

"Oh my God, I just can't even imagine."

Jeffrey takes a sip of his tea and Brooke puts her back pack on her desk.

"And that's not the worst of it.  It was some kids on there playing loud ass music at 6:30 in the morning.  One of the girls had her leg wrapped around the pole like her name was Poison Ivy straight out of a strip club and one of the dudes was hanging from the pole doing pull ups."

Jeffrey blew on his tea as he leaned forward.

"Then one lady said, "No one wants to hear that kind of language first thing in the morning." Then he says back to her "And no one wants to look at that ugly ass wig you're wearing!"

Jeffrey clutched his bow tie as if they were pearls.

"Then what happened?"

"I thanked the Heavenly Father that it was my stop. And as I got off the train I tossed her a mint, and to the bunch of them in that car I yelled "Not my zoo, not my monkeys and have a great day!"
