Lani's earbuds thumped loudly. Apparently the rest of the workers in the office thought she was a hoot and couldn't care less what type of obnoxious britney spears song she was playing so long as it got her several thousand more bloggers.
Her blog of choice? Mostly relationships and places to eat. People seemed to dig a more personable response to new restaurants then blipping through another yelp page. People needed that in this city and in some way, they needed her. Her finger tips grazed the keyboard, her word pad open she sneared at the cheap microsoft package her job had given her. She couldn't help but wonder why she had all of sudden been so easily distracted?
She kept skimming webpage to webpage. Apparently there was a huge dance party coming into town for one night. Anyone who was anyone was to be there flaunting there love of glow in the dark outfits and dancing their cares away.
Georgina, her best friend and colleague peaked over into her cubicle grinning.
"You should take a break."
"Why?" Lani mumbled, stuffing another bbq pork slice into her mouth.
"Because.. my darling dearest." Georgina shimmied happily towards her, spinning Lani in her chair to face her friend. Lani took a moment to admire Georgina's newly relaxed hair, her brown skin newly and glistening from her trip to Jamaica.
"I have two ..fabulous tickets to that little dance party that you're admiring on your webpage and you KNOW you wanna go."
Lani couldn't help but grin ear to ear.
Opportunities dont last long.. She absent mindedly shook Georgina's hand and they left the building promptly for their lunch.
