The Archives Group Chat 👻📝
(Wednesday afternoon)
Jon: it has come to my attention that some of my coworkers thing spreading rumors about me is funny.
Jon: So, to clear things up. My personal life is none of your business, and so is my social life. My preferences of pizza topping are not that big of a deal. (Looking at you, Tim.) and no, the cat on my favorite mug is not mine (anymore).
Tim: u say that like we aren’t ur only social life...
Sasha: okay ill bite. what’s the tragic cat backstory
Jon: I co-owned the Admiral with my (now ex-) girlfriend. She took him in the breakup, which was probably for the best.
Martin: can i ask why you broke up?
Jon: it’s would be highly unprofessional of me to talk about this sort of thing in the work groupchat.
Tim: it’s would be
Sasha: it’s would be
Martin: it’s would be
Tim: get his ass
Jon: I don’t understand what’s happening. Is this some kind of inside joke?
Tim: sad little old man doesn’t know what it’s like to be in a group chat. 😔 this is so sad
Jon: I’ll have you know this is far from my first group chat.
Sasha: this is so sad honestly. Jon you are legally required to come with us for drinks of Friday
Jon: On whose authority? I’m not ‘legally’ required to do anything you tell me to do.
Martin: Jon will you please come? 🥺
Tim: ...just heard a big sigh come from Jon’s office... not to get anyone’s hopes up but he might have been swayed by the cute emoji
Sasha: whoa there jon you’ve been typing for awhile there everything good?
Jon: Alright, I’ll come. I will complain the whole time and make everyone else miserable. But I’ll be there. Happy?
Tim: awe Jon youll have a lovely time I’m sure. and even if it sucks at least we’ll all get to have a sucky night together :) solidarity
Martin: as long as you leave the attitude behind <3
Martin: as well as your work! do NOT bring work to the pub
Jon: okay
Tim: Martin i think you broke him. There’s just silence coming from his office. none of the usual shuffling papers and mumbling...
Martin: i know it was rude :/ but it needed to be said! he’s been pretty nasty to me on several occasions and i know he’s better than that!
Martin: I just. i dunno
Sasha: no no no i totally get it. working in the archives had really brought out the mean in him i think
Tim: guys i just checked on jon. he was sitting at his desk with his head down and when i tried to ask him if he was alright he just told me to go away... not sure what’s going on but he dosent seem happy
Sasha: dosent
Tim: you know what i mean.
Sasha: he’ll be fine don’t worry about it
Sasha: i can pm him if it’ll make u feel better martin
Martin: its okay, sasha, really
Jon: I appreciate the concern, but I would appreciate you all getting back to work even more.
Tim: love you too bestie 💕
