How LonelyNo worksRead the conversation
The script for this illustrated story. Open it if you prefer to read along.
Deb: I said I'd tidy the bookings before Monday. Then someone said, while you're there, could you do the forms?
Rosie: The famous little extra.
Deb: Followed by its extended family. I cancelled lunch with my sister. Spent Saturday in an office with lights that turn off if you stop moving.
Rosie: Even the building was suggesting you go home.
Deb: I waved at the ceiling while eating a sandwich. Quite the social occasion.
Rosie: What made you say yes?
Deb: It's nice to be the person people want. Until you realise they want the spreadsheet.
Deb: The next request came on Friday. I said I couldn't do Saturday and asked what needed doing first during work hours.
Rosie: What happened?
Deb: My manager split it up. No dramatic resignation. No one fainted. My sister and I finally had lunch.
Rosie: Worth protecting?
Deb: Very. Two hours of absolute nonsense. She wanted the full ceiling-light story.
Rosie: Come and talk with me at Lonely No dot com.
