Conversations Overheard at Work

So I have a new job! Sadly, no more cookbooks for the time being, but I'm turning the page and getting into some cool photography, film, television, and children's titles. Shall we usher in the new era with another round of Conversations Overheard at Work? I thought you'd never ask.


"You've probably been asked this five times already, but are you a big Twilight fan?"

"I'm sure everyone's been asking you this, but are you a Twilight fan?"

"Hey, are you a Twilight fan?"

Project manager: "Wait, which one is Rosalie again?"
Designer: "Rosalie is the really grumpy vampire. The one who hates Bella."

"What's the plural of Volturi?"

"What's happening with that woman in Oregon who takes pictures of dogs? You really should have brought that to the meeting."

"No, Amy's got the Ninja Turtles."

"Do you guys have a Batmobile over there?"

"Ooh the Monster Book of Monsters! It's like Christmas."

"Look, guys. I know how this works. I've been to five Comic-Cons."

"I am a bit worried about SpongeBob."

"Ooh! I like 'blustery breeze.' That's cute."

" 'Avast' is a little obscure, but 'ahoy' is a greeting, and 'halt' just isn't that pirate-y. You see what we're struggling with here?"

Art director reviewing Angry Birds cover: "I was really hoping this could be a little bit more . . . "
Editor: "Explosive?"
