[It's been one of those days. And the days only been a few hours long. At least if you're a normal person, who sleeps normal hours anyway. Linda hasn't slept all night between covering Central City's baseball team's recent loss to Coast City, and also subbing for the community piece because the usual writer was on maternity leave and they were cycling through the rest of the jounalists. It's Linda's turn this week and the deadline is in just a few hours.
Suffice to say she's been living on cappuccinos since Jitters opened. So when she almost knocks her cup off the table trying to grab for the handle and completely missing - this is why you watch what you're doing, Linda, and not the laptop screen - it feels like world is about to end. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration. Maybe. But it does almost feel like time slows down, and she can see everything happen before it actually does.
It only lasts for a second, and then someone's there to -- spill the coffee all over her.
At first she's not even sure it really happened. This has to be a dream right? This is some awful work nightmare, and next thing she knows her screen will start sparking comically and the words will just tumble out into one big mess. Right?
But then napkins are being thrust at her, and that someone is apologizing.

And she should probably say something.
Say something Linda.]
So, where are the cameras hidden?
[Good one.]
