At my Desk

Me: May I have a new mouse? My mouse no longer scrolls.

[Without responding, CD walks away, comes back with Windex bottle, sprays directly onto mouse and all over me, rubs mouse with paper towel, sets it down, walks away]

Me: I’ve already tried cleaning it. Can you please just order me a new one?

CD: Maybe you need a mouse pad!
