Some conspiracy theory type cashier, a thirtysomething dude that’s been with the company for maybe three weeks, sticks a post-it note to the monitor up in Palmyra’s office which reads, Friends: be careful what you’re doing on here! “They” are watching!! He has drawn some eyeballs up above the message, a set looking to the left, and another set looking to the right, while at the bottom, much as you can infer such from a simple drawing, there’s a big old sarcastic smiley face.
This message cracks Edgar up, the first time he sees it and beyond. While the sentiment is a bit much, there’s no denying things are getting a little more corporate around here. The impetus for his post-it note, surely, is a days old incident whereby Teri Barnette, who’d been drafted to figure out the latest equipment related malady, had connected in via VNC to take a remote look at Palmyra’s office computer…and sort of flipped out to discover that someone was scrolling around Amazon on that screen, shopping for black lights.
