Richard choked on a laugh and took a few moments to reply. If he has to leave today still sparkly, I want pictures or it didn't happen.

That would be unprofessional. Natalie couldn't suppress the snickers. But he's already going on the Wall of Mistakes for next week, so there should be one good shot.

Excellent. Is that like a Wall of Shame? Richard grinned at the idea. Oh if he was cataloguing the mistakes his people made...

Well. He'd need more than a wall, he'd need a book.

Sort of. The most spectacular mistake from the week gets posted on Friday afternoon, and stays up for the next week. Although Natalie made sure that people didn't make mistakes just to get up on the Wall. Only legitimate, spectacular accidents counted.

Richard snickered at that. Oh he could have so much fun with that idea...

But he'd get in so much trouble.

So any other fantastic accidents this week?

Not really. A few wrong colors or effects here and there, but nothing besides that. Natalie stretched a bit, sighing. What about in your office?

Nothing too terrible today, just normal slip-ups. Richard stretched, popping his back and groaning quietly. I need to get out more.

Well, that's what Saturday is for. Natalie grinned a bit. You and me and the best coffee place in town.

Sounds like a good plan. We'll have to tack that onto sushi. Richard grinned briefly. Better be careful or you'll actually start to like spending time with me.

I wouldn't mind that. Natalie couldn't help but blush slightly when she sent that message.

Richard grinned slowly. Well it's a good thing we've got a date set up.

Indeed. Natalie was quiet for a moment, and then she sighed. Although there's another board meeting scheduled for later, isn't there?

I believe so. Richard sighed. That won't be fun. No offense.

None taken. I was thinking the same thing. Natalie sighed as well. I wish they hadn't made this about the companies, and just left it between us.

They didn't get to where they are without taking advantage of opportunities, no matter that their own children are involved. Richard shrugged. He didn't like it, but he kind of understood it.

I know. That didn't mean Natalie liked it any more than he did.

Well maybe we can do something after the meeting. It was an idea, at least.

Happy hour at Tullycross? Natalie suggested. She'd never had a reason to go before, although she knew quite a few of her department went.
