The cabinet in my work cubicle was making an odd noise. As I closed its door, the sound was somewhat haunting. Certainly out of place. Digging deep in my memory, I found it. A match. My cabinet was singing the song of a Humpback Whale. Certainly odd, but somewhat calming.

I closed my eyes. I heard the underwater echo. Then suddenly, I opened my eyes in fear, perhaps I had been beached. Oh, an unexpected work hazard, indeed. That and whaling ships disguised as interoffice mail.

Editor’s Note: Okay, sure this post is a bit of a stretch, but feel free to chalk it up to “not all of them can be gems.” That and the sound of the cabinet was pretty spot on for a gentle-plankton-eating-underwater-giant-of-a-mammal. #ExaggerationWorthy
