    Oh, how cute… Virginia’s blushing!

      Nothing cute about that expression. She’s highly offended, which is a situation that people blush in that isn’t cute at all.

        If she didn’t have feelings for Nick, yes, she would be offended. But as it is, no, I don’t think she’s offended at all. Embarrassed, certainly – because she is right now herself imagining what “private time” could entail – and probably quite shocked that Janie would say such a thing, but not offended.

            Yes, thank you for saying this, it means I don’t have to.

          Seeing as Nick is, you know, a helicopter, I’d imagine whatever would happen during “private time” if “private time” entailed what Janie thinks it entails would be pretty shocking in of itself. Or at least mildly incomprehensible to the outside observer.

      Agreed. Mr. Green (Ira? Ari?) wants the pictures/videos/images.

    Given where they work, I’d want her to define “juicy” too, because I could imagine that some people find schlorping out brains to be juicy, in the sense that you are likely to be covered in juices.

      Given the co-worker’s expressed feelings for biotech, you may actually be on to something there. And it would still also coincide with what everyone else is thinking about that statement.

    Let me frame this for you in scientific terms, Virginia. You are experiencing a common form of missing limb syndrome. There are many variants, but the pattern is the same. You’re here. The object, in your case a helicopter, but it can be anything, such as a person or an animal, is there. The victim suffers from the delusion of a neural connection to the object. This belief has no basis in reality. If a physical signal were responsible for this belief, then the signal would disappear when we add enough shielding. This does not happen, because the connection does not exist in the first place. Even when you are in direct physical contact, it is less integral to who you are than your hair.

    What we are doing is called setting healthy boundaries. Do you understand? Good. Now let’s go get that “haircut,” shall we?

      Love doesn’t have to involve a neural connection to be the realest thing in the world.

      How is that “missing limb syndrome”? In this case, the “object” was never a part of her, so she cannot be “missing” it. She is not assuming any neural connection to the “object”, but rather an emotional one. It is a very real – albeit not physical – connection, and very much a part of who a person is. She has a very powerful emotional attachment to Nick, and that attachment is in very real danger of being irreparably severed.

    “Listen, it’s none of my business if you have N. gonorrhoeae. But if you do, I need pics when you give it to the helicopter or I’ll be told it doesn’t count.”
