No one should ever describe themselves as a genuine eccentric" she snarled, spitting out chunks of freshly savaged nose out over the desk while simultaneously forcing her monthly progress report into the area where her bosses sinuses used to be.

It was unavoidable then, she was actually going to have to try and justify why her last two weeks work consisted of three unlabeled graphs, and 46 sketches of starshaped birthday cakes. It wasn't meant to be like this.
