    Interviewer: So I assume you're adept at all Office products, right?

    Me: All except PowerPoint.

    Interviewer: What do you mean? Everybody knows how to use PowerPoint.

    Me: I'm sure I could figure it out. F1 brings up the help menu. It's how I learned the other modules in the Office suite. I just hate PowerPoint. It's garbage. Nobody should use it. Ever. Have IT delete it off all your computers.

    Interviewer: What? How would you give a presentation then?

    Me: I don't know. It's been a long time since I took Public Speaking. Tell you what--give me a topic and a week to prepare and I'll come up with a creative presentation that will actually keep people engaged.

    Interviewer: You took Public Speaking?

    Me: Yes. Of course. Isn't that kind of a basic requirement if you want to call yourself educated? And, I mean, it's not easy to learn on your own. If you're gonna get up and sing the ABC song at the salad bar at Shoney's, you better do it at the end of your meal 'cuz they're gonna throw you out. I did that once, y'know.

    Interviewer: You did? Why?

    Me: Lost a bet. My boss was a prick.

    Interviewer: Well, you're either getting the job or referred to the FBI for heavy surveillance. Probably both. Welcome aboard!

    The artificer nodded. "I can build this wheeled chair, but why? You have an enchanted hover seat.""Yes," the wizard fumed, "but the palace have erected magic-cancelling wards.""Why?""Don't know. But they didn't think of people who need mobility aids. So I need wheels to go shout at the king."#MicroFiction #TootFic #SmallStories

    An ogre knocked - carefully - on the witch's door.She looked up at the hulking figure. "Can I help you?""Do you know where giants live?""Haven't been any here for centuries. Why?"The ogre blushed. "I... It's stupid, but... I want to be the small spoon.""Hm. I have a shrinking potion."#MicroFiction #TootFic #SmallStories

    "Let me get this straight. Your lab has bred a dragon?""A wyvern, director. It has two legs, two wings, whereas a-""Which flies, breathes fire, and is intelligent?""About as intelligent as a border collie.""So, intelligent. Why?""You asked us to invent measures to take down small drones."#MicroFiction #TootFic #SmallStories

    "This is demeaning," one robot said. "With this, you mean queueing to have our eyes inspected?" the robot behind it in line said. "We all have multi-colour LEDs fitted.""Yes, software-controlled ones. They don't automatically glow red if we turn evil.""Looks good on you though.""Thanks."#MicroFiction #TootFic #SmallStories
