You know those kinds of co-workers you look forward to seeing every day because they make work a fun and pleasant place to be?

Diane isn’t one of those.

 “Who,” asked the Pressman, as we walked to the study area, “is Diane?”

“Someone who takes my ancestry to heart,” I said.  “She’s the one who rescued you from certain vehicular homicide in front of the staff parking entrance a couple weeks ago.”

“You would not have hit me,” he said.

“I appreciate the benefit of the doubt.”

“Your car was traveling less than one-point-six kilometers per hour,” he said, “and I was fully capable of stepping out of the way.”
