+%title Malina
+:writing:poetry:fiction:sawtooth:furry:
+
+## I
+
+'''
+It was with no small amount of irony
+that Malina lay down all of her finery
+
+and went to work in a coffee shop.
+The Book and the Bean was a short hop,
+
+after all, from her home, close enough
+that, after the walk, she was hardly fluffed
+
+at all. Just a badger, a bit portly, a bit tall,
+who gave up on a job in personal finance, one fall,
+
+to, as she'd told Cyril, "head for greener pastures."
+Internally, she couldn't shake the stress of last year's
+
+troubles with the boss. Stupid git.
+She'd promised Cyril that she'd be a good fit
+
+and make things work out financially.
+"Our house is paid off, we're substantially
+
+self sufficient. Far more so than most!"
+she'd said over that evening's roast.
+
+"And I'm perfectly willing
+to admit I'll never make a killing
+
+working in a coffee shop. And if it doesn't
+work out, I'm just as willing to admit it wasn't
+
+a good idea, and head back to the books."
+Cyril had given her the weariest of looks
+
+and shaken his head, and that act, or non-act,
+which showed his opinion of the fact
+
+that moving from a comfortable CPA position
+to a barista down the road, that that transition
+
+was, perhaps, one big bad idea.
+"It could work, but Malina,
+
+please keep an eye on reality."
+'''
+
+!{Maybe continue there to more dinner/conversation?}
+
+## II
+
+!{The problems with boss}
+
+'''
+When one's coworker up and goes missing,
+taking her life and leaving without even kissing
+
+her husband goodbye,
+it takes every good lie
+
+you've told in the office and either makes you ask
+why you told it, or shatters the carefully constructed mask
+
+it implies. Your boss, for instance,
+might come after you with some persistence,
+
+aiming for a kiss here, a touch there,
+Even as he wonders aloud, "Where
+
+has she gone? And why?" It makes no sense.
+You rebuff every approach and set up a little fence
+
+around your desk, one made of papers and inboxes,
+and work with your back to a wall to keep that fox's
+
+advances at bay. It could be that you're just, you know,
+imagining things. That your boss is just stooping this low
+
+not because he's upset, but because you are.
+Even then, it doesn't really matter just how far
+
+he goes. Sigh. He's still an asshole.
+One day, you reject and rebuff a pass while
+
+explaining what a shitty thing that is to do,
+and finally tell the truth about how little you care who
+
+he thinks he is. He backs off, anger cool and plain,
+but he does back off.
+'''
+
+(or maybe that's just you imagining things now that she's gone, etc)
+
+(makes you question your validity as an employee)
