That new accountant Jamie likes

You look up and see a nervous-looking bull. You don't recognize him, but assume it's that new accountant because of his clothes and obvious lack of familiarity with the cubical maze. He's a little less chubby then Jamie, more muscular and probably a few centimeters taller. The horns probably help with that impression, though. He's wearing a green polo shirt with a pair of tan khakis, and probably left that visor accountants always wear back at his desk. You hold back a smile, visualizing him with a pair of blinders on, slaving away at a stack of paperwork. Sure, it's stereotypical, but if he wasn't so nervous he'd probably be thinking similar thoughts about you chasing your tail over these expense reports.

"I'm really sorry to bother you," says the bull, "but could you tell me where the restroom is?" His voice is about two octaves higher than you would expect it from his size and bulk, and he lacks the brutish grunts that is are as instinctive for bulls as perking your red ears is for you.

"Oh sure. Bathroom, that's down this aisle till the first junction, then a left. Go straight until you reach the soda machine, then take a right and the mens' is to the right of the water fountain." you say.

"Thank you very much, sir." says the bull as he hurries off past the cubicles and down towards the bathroom. You bring up your hands and rest your muzzle on them as you watch him scurry away. He does not move like he needs to relieve himself... so why was he in such a rush to get to the restroom that he felt he needed to ask someone?

Just then, the phone rings and you pick it up. It's your boss and she wants to see you in her office. You quickly forget about the bull, he probably just wanted to empty his bladder before he went to a meeting like a good bean-counter. You get up from your desk and stroll down towards your manager's office with your hands in your pockets. The boss doesn't call people to her office to rage at them, and there's usually a queue. She's much nicer on the eyes and ears than most bosses, even with that nasty rumor that she tore someone's heart out with her bare claws for a drunken mistake that cost the company a cold million. You stop by Jamie's cubicle to see how he is doing. He isn't there so you just keep walking. The boss probably has a special project for you, joy of joys. More than likely, Jamie had to run some gizmo down to IT or somewhere, all that running is the only thing keeping him in shape. You should really invite him to the gym with you, but always worry that the sight of you in your workout clothes will be too much for his wild imagination.

Speaking of which, your bladder needs to vent. It's not a major deal, but you don't want it to become one if the boss has one of her surprise "State of the Company" speeches to test on you. But, the mens' room is a good walk back the opposite direction...

Do you:

• Go straight to the boss' office
• Piss on that fern in the abandoned breakroom
• Hit the mens' room. She'll understand.
