Or a division of Pengu1n. The film division? Whatever. They're doing something on "people who work at night in New York," and somehow they've landed in our office. They're going to be filming mostly one of my supervisors (the late-night one, obviously). But I might get some cameos, like, asking him questions or something. I often ask him questions, you know. I wouldn't have to fake it. I'd be like, "Hey, what should I do next?", and then he'd tell me, and it would be just like any other evening, except with a boom mike. (There will be a boom mike, I'm given to understand.)

They say this will show at film festivals. Maybe on TV. There might be a DVD. A book!

Should we all get agents?

Say 'grebt in excelsior' and I will give you actual money.

It won't make the final cut, tho.

(but maybe I could be off in a corner of the screen, browsing ILX -- which also would be like a usual night at work)

The film crew is now here, boom mike in tow. One of my bosses was just explaining our jobs to them. She made it sound sooooo boring. Now I'm depressed.

Don't be depressed. It always seems like it'll be boring before they've added all the CGI.

two years pass...

What happened to this film, it sounds kind of interesting.

we never heard another word. we all assume our section was so dull it was dropped. it has however entered the folklore of the office: "remember the night the film crew was here?" which just sort of reinforces how boring the average night in the office is.
