We circulate a lot of media here- music CDs, audio books, DVDs. In order to keep them secure, we keep them locked. Behind the desk is a special DVD-CD-unlocker-thing (technically called a decoupler but nobody ever says that). You slide the DVD case through it, it makes a clicky sound, and then you can open the case. After several hundred thousand uses, I’ve come up with a rhythm for it. Today, Patron picked up on that.
Patron: Whoa
Patron: Are you a drummer?
Me: Huh? No…?
Patron, jamming hard: You have a hell of a beat there, and I was all, this guy knows his way around a kit! Are you in a band?
Me: Hey Coworker, wanna start a band?
Coworker: Yes. I call drums.
Me: Aww
Patron: It’s ok I’ll be your drummer
Me: Wait
