Granola

After I finish my cereal I finish my coffee, and after that I finish my phone call and I hang up. She was saying something about simplifying or condensing or consolidating, and to tell you the truth I couldn't make out a lot of it for all the granola clusters. I got the general gist and said some pleasantries and got off. I was going to see her soon anyway.

In the office all eyes turned, murmurs had murmurs. I got called into her office before I could get another cup of coffee. She asked me what I was doing there. I said working. She asked if she hadn't made herself clear on the phone. I said of course, consolidation was in order... It had never occurred to me that granola covered up my doom. I packed my things and left.
