100 Word Weekly Challenge - Coffee

I interviewed for a job with a software company yesterday.
I think I did well on my part of the interview.
At least well enough for Joe, my prospective boss, to start selling me on the company.
He explained the well designed benefits package and gave me a tour of the offices,
At the end of the tour I had one question, "Where are the coffee machines? I did not see one during our tour".
Joe took me back to the cubicles and pointed, "See?"
Yup, coffee. Delivered via IV tubing to every cubicle.
I'm going to like it here.

100 Word Weekly Challenge - 'Mirror'


I loved the amazing work Hayley Mills did in "The Parent Trap", especially the scene where she and her 'twin sister' pretended they were posing in front of a mirror. Many weekend afternoons were spent with my sisters trying to emulate that act, matching poses and facial expressions. Although it works better when you are twins of the same gender, it was still fun and a fond memory.

50 years later I have decided to try it again. But I want to do it right. I need someone as my identical twin, a "Hayley".

Unfortunately, Haley Barbour is not available.
