[She nods super seriously, like she's being admitted into a secret club.]

Totally!

[tattleina]

[Shirley leans in, willing to play along. She says the recipe in a quiet voice, and there's nothing really too special about it apart from adding things like cinnamon.]

I hope I can entrust you with that secret! Making delicious cookies is a very serious business.

[She listens intently, though in five minutes she'll have completely forgotten it.]

Oh, you can trust me! My lips are sealed!

[She mimes sealing them shut.]

[tattleina]

I should hope so! I wouldn't want the recipe to fall into the hands of another bakery!

[She titters a little.]

[hairwasmyroom.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh, no! That'd just be rude.

[tattleina]

Oh, I forgot to ask! Did you ever find a job?

[hairwasmyroom.livejournal.com]

I did! I work for my old boss Michael. He has a paper company here and I'm his receptionist.

[tattleina]

That sounds like fun. I hope you get paid enough!

[hairwasmyroom.livejournal.com]

Oh sure! I make enough. It's not like I need a big, fancy apartment or anything like that!

[tattleina]

Oh, I'm sure you don't, if you're living on your own. Do you have any other friends around here?

[hairwasmyroom.livejournal.com]

Yeah, some! There's the people here that I worked with back in Scranton, and Ned, Ginny, the Weasley twins, a couple others I sort of know.

[tattleina]

That's nice! And, um, is there a lucky boy in your life?

[hairwasmyroom.livejournal.com]

[She blushes a bit.]

Oh, no. I mean, there's-- he's my ex-boyfriend, actually, but we're still friends and umm, well I dunno. He was dating someone, but she was sent home and I don't think he wants to get back together with me so I'm sort of... stuck.

[How do you enjoy that infodump, Shirley?]

[tattleina]

Oh, how awful! What sort of man doesn't want to date you? What's his name?

[hairwasmyroom.livejournal.com]

Oh well, I dunno if I should say. I mean, it's fine. We're friends. And I love being friends with him.

[tattleina]

Are you sure? Because I've seen Friends, and this sounds like a definite Ross and Rachel situation.

[hairwasmyroom.livejournal.com]

Oh. [She bites her lip.]

I hope I don't get drunk and sleep with him and get pregnant and have his baby and then want to move to Paris but then decide at the last minute that I wanna be with Andy.

Because that would be frustrating. And I'm not ready for kids.

[She doesn't realize she slipped up and said his name there.]

[tattleina]

Oh, so his name is Andy?

[Shirley makes a mental note to scan the comms for an Andy.]

[hairwasmyroom.livejournal.com]

Oh! Oh, no! His name is-- [Quick, woman, think!] An-dddder-son? [She frowns. Ok, coming up with a name different from Andy is hard when you've got Andy on the brain.]

No it's not. That was a fib. I'm sorry. It is Andy.

[tattleina]

What a lovely name! I'm sure he must be a very nice person, who has just hasn't realised what a great friend he has in you.

[hairwasmyroom.livejournal.com]

He's the coolest guy I know!
