The office filled with idle chatter as Friday crawled to an end. Two Employees lingered by the coffee pot.

"I heard that nearly five hundred people die per year from the flu in the US alone."

"What really? That sounds kinda high..."

Before that thought could finish, the manager's door flew open. Paper scattered from his secretary's desk. A hush fell over the space. But where most onlookers might expect an excutive beast to charge out, instead a fuming toddler stomp-waddled out on a tiny warpath.

"What was that about my diaper?" he roared, or tried to roar, at least.

"oh god, here we go again," the secretary quietly groaned, rubbing at her temple as her tail bristled. Was he really going to throw another of his tantrums? No, not this time, she decided, she was putting a stop to this. She strode over to the pint sized 'professional'. "Sir, please, you need to calm down."

He turned on her with all the rage of an oncoming choo choo train. "You can't tell me what to do! I'm your b~" And this time the sentence was cut short by a round rubber bulb plugging his muzzle, "...botttth," he lisped from behind the pacifier, cheeks flushing red. After a few seconds of steaming and huffing, he retreated to his office.

No one said a word.

The next morning, a new workplace policy went up, distributed through various company emails and posted in common areas:

«Re: Regression in the Workplace: Please remember to be courteous to your affected co-workers and see HR for all employee disputes. Do not attempt to resolve them locally with pacifiers, rattles, or bribes of extra snackies at lunch time. »

It would be the first of many.
