Getting Things Done
Part 1 - Some Things Should Change.
Caption #565
Wendy took Mike's macho crap for the umpteenth time since she started at Delro Inc. Ever since she'd got the secretarial job she had had to deal with Mike Shields and his women get everything done for them crap. He was nice enough Wendy thought but his constant putting down of women and their capabilities sure made him hard to take.
When he insisted that she wasn't capable of even using a screwdriver Wendy could only laugh. As she handed him his mobile which he'd left lying around for fourth time this week he began waffling on about having to fix everything around here. The fact he was the company maintenance man didn't stand in the way of his complaining.
That night Wendy was visiting her great aunt Celia who was a bit weird. Wendy was complaing about Mike and his like when Celia stopped her.
"Put some of this into his coffee dear, he'll soon see things from a different perspective," Celia said as she handed Wendy a small sachet of what looked like mixed herbs.
"What will it do aunt Celia?"
"You'll see dear. "
"Ok well if it makes him more understanding about women I'm all for it."
"Oh it will do that alright." Celia said.
Wendy had to wait till nearly four o'clock the next day to get the mixture into Mike's coffee. As he drank and waffled on at her desk he began to look pale. Wendy could only wait.
Within minutes Mike was changing. Before her eyes Wendy watched Mike morph into a young girl! Face, body, clothes... the works! He looked at himself and maybe he was going to scream but the shock caused no sound to come from his mouth.
Wendy was amazed and facinated at what had just taken place. She was also excited that Mike was now a pretty girl!
Mike stood montionless for the longest time. Wendy noticed though that nobody in the office seemed to notice what had just happened. Finally Mike got his voice, a feminine lilt accompanied his words.
"What the fuck has happened?" Mike said.
"Not sure, but thats some magic trick Mike." Wendy exclaimed while hiding her inner knowledge.
"No trick Wendy, I didn't do anything!" Mike almost sobbed now.
"Mike no one has even noticed what happened, they are just working away as usual?"
"I can't be a girl, this isn't possible."
"You sure look like one Mike, or should I say Mikky." Wendy said.
Wendy was trying to act as surprised as Mike was. Inside though her mind was racing, her aunt had made this happen and it seemed to everyone that nothing had happened. For all intents Mike was a girl and nobody noticed he wasn't Mike. This could be fun Wendy thought. She needed to know more.
"Mike your carrying a hand bag now, open it up and lets see if it tells us anything?" Wendy asked.
"Ok Ok, got too find an answer." Mike replied as he rifled through the handbag.
"Anything?"
"Um a purse, let me look inside it." Mike answered.
Mike snapped open the purse and hunted through its contents. He pulled out what looked to Wendy to be a license. As he read it the colour drained from his face. Wendy waited for more information. Finally he handed the license to Wendy. Flpping it over she saw a picture of the girl standing before her. The name below it said Amy James, age 20. The residential address was more startling, it was the same as Wendy's!
Wendy was amazed, it was as if reality had altered around them. Without a word she dialed her home phone number. She listened as the answering machine message started. She couldn't believe it but there was the message saying 'neither Wendy or Amy could get to the phone right now' talking back to her. She hung up and redialed then handed the phone to Mike. Wendy watched Mike's expression as he heard his new voice! What did this mean for them?
