So, have a good time at sensitivity training?

“Actually, I did.”

Huh, wasn’t expecting that answer. What happened?

“Me and the training guy, Jeff, spent the entire time messing around. It was great!”

Dude, you seduced the sensitivity trainer!?

“Not that kind of messing around, the other kind. You know, when you goof off and don’t do anything useful. He apparently doesn’t really like his job all that much or something. We spent the first three sessions playing boardgames like Pandemic and Castle Panic and talking about our kids. He’s got a little girl, Beth; she’s pretty cute from the pictures I’ve seen.”

That sounds nice. Hopefully you’re not going to get him in trouble or anything.

“He’ll probably be okay. He’s a bit of a smooth talker, so he can probably avoid any heat. Besides, I’m certainly not going to rat him out.”

So you basically are going to spend the two weeks of sensitivity training playing boardgames?

“Pretty much. Jeff’s invited some of the DRD people to join in. He says they’re cool and won’t tattle to the management. Having a few more players means we can break out some of the games that require three or more people at the table.”

Huh, well, I guess it worked out for you, then.

“Damn straight, it did.”

I guess we can’t put off this recap any longer. Not that there’s much to tell, really. The last chapter was even more empty than usual.

“I can’t help but notice that each chapter features a different area of the game.”

Yeah, I noticed that too. Pretty horrible way to decide what constitutes a chapter.
