Despite having had very little sleep since he'd taken over Patrick's workstation yesterday morning, Gary Smulder feels good today. His big story has undergone a few revisions, thanks to Patrick's keen editorial sense, and now he must only apply the few finishing touches. Maybe quite unnecessary, but this is for his ego: he'd insert a few "Easter eggs" here and there throughout the article, just for sh1ts and giggles.
And nothing could kick-start a late morning than a hot, steaming mug of brewed coffee, courtesy of the Muckraker magazine's old trusty Mr. Coffee coffeemaker. If there's anything good about this office, Gary ponders, it's these little freebies. If only Patrick could include an unlimited supply of donuts to go with the coffee, though. But perhaps that would be for another time, when the magazine hits paydirt.
