Shut It

In Jeff's vein, I have put my creative skills to work, enjoy. And now I proudly present, How Harmony Doesn't Understand Me: A Tragicomedy. Cast: Nettie, an associate at Bath and Body Works who loves her job, and also loves to sing. Harmony: her slightly cranky but entertaining manager. Melissa: Another associate who can appreciate Nettie. Kristy: a newish associate who just goes with the flow. Got it? (please note: this is tongue-in-cheek. I LOVE my job, and all the people there. It's all in good fun!)

H: All right Nettie, I'm gonna need you to tone it down on the Amy Grant a little there.
N: Melissa, tell Harmony to stop picking on me.
M: Harmony, Nettie has politely requested that you cut down on the picking on her. aside: Because her stopping isn't going to happen.

N: Is merrily singing the soundtrack to the Sound of Music playing in her head as she stacks the shelves.
H: Shut it!
N: Shut what?
H:Your piehole!
N:I can't.
H:Do it anyway!

Harmony has left the area. Nettie continues her repertoire with "I Have Confidence."
H:Nettie, I told you to SHUT IT!
N:I didn't know you were there!
H:Well, here I am!
Nettie whirls on Melissa and Kristy, who are stacking the shelves behind her facing the door.
N:Why didn't you tell me she was there?!
Melissa and Kristy mumble something shamedfacedly about not having noticed her either.
N: You people aren't helping me here.

M:You know, Harmony, she's going to write all this on her website.
N:Well, not all of it. Whatever Harmony says has to be heavily edited.
M:Now, see, Harmony she can't put what you say verbatim!
H: Yeah, I need to work on that.
