Bailey, Frost & Myrrh present
Like sand in the Vaseline, so is a day in the life for the folks at Bailey, Frost, and Myrrh. In today’s episode, Molly breaks down.
“It won’t stop dinging at me!”
Molly is frantically circling a wall of paper and furniture that could at one time be considered a desk in her office. There is an faint but audible random ding emanating from the sea of non-humanity every few seconds.

“What the hell is going on in here, Molly?”
MOLLY
“Something keeps dinging at me!”
“DING!”
GREG
“From where, Mollarino?”
MOLLY
“From something on my desk!”
GREG
“What desk?”
DALE
“Holy Mother of Jehoshaphat, what keeps…”
“DING!”
DALE
“…dinging?!”
“DING!”
DOUG
“It’s her computer. And it’s dinging because we set it up that way.”
DALE
“Set what up what way?”
DOUG
“HighOrbit.”
DALE
“What’s HighOrbit?”
LARRY
“It’s what you told me to get last week, boss,”
“DING!”
LARRY
“Ding!”
DOUG
“HighOrbit is our new system for handling literally every process we have at BFM. Every time anything needs to be implemented, Molly gets a message.”
MOLLY
“I haven’t gotten any messages!”
“DING!”
DOUG
“Molly, we’ve set the HighOrbit system up so that you are the gatekeeper. Every time Brenda gets a P.O., or we have a potential new hire, or Larry messes something up, you get a message. It’s then up to you which department needs to handle which task. And then, HighOrbit even allows us to send you an automatic reminder in case you fail to open the original request.”
“DING! DING! DING!”
DOUG
“What do you think the dings are for, Molly?”
MOLLY
“I thought it was the waffle iron acting up.”
DALE
“There’s a waffle iron under there?! Enough, Molly! We’re going to clean this mess up once and for all! Larry, get the broom closet key!”
LARRY
“You got it, boss!”
GREG
“Wait, I got this, Uh…”
LARRY
“What are you doing, Greg?”
GREG
“I though I had the key…”
DALE
“Why would you have the key?”
GREG
“No reason in particular.”
DALE
“And now you’ve lost it!”
GREG
“But it was in my pants!”
BRENDA
“Evidently it wasn’t.”
GREG
“Butt out of this, Brenda!”
“DING!”
LISA
Just then, Lisa the new intern at Bailey, Frost, and Myrrh, appears from the ether holding the broom closet key. She has disheveled hair and her lipstick needs a touch up.
“Was someone looking for this?”
GREG
“Wow! What a coincidence! Where did you find that?”
“DING!”
