Business is Business


                                                'Business is Business'



{PROMPT: Pretend that there is a small man/woman in your brain. Explain their everyday task.}

0500hrs:
Chaos is slowly turning in the Command Center located on the top floor of a building titled Mr. Manning. Established in 1986, this company has been running smoothly with only a minor downfall a few years back, in which that head Commander was relieved of duty. With a new General in command, this classified operation has been getting the task done on day to day basis.
This particular morning, the command center is dealing with typical morning issues: the neck center just reported a slight ache in its lower mid region. The CC quickly sent a response for comfort, saying that the problem was simply sleep position; a bad decision made by the CC's late night crew.
The Feet Office, located in the basement of Mr. Manning Inc., reported a cold draft that is rendering the workers from charging up for projected tasks. The CC replies and instructs the Hands Office, located separately on the east and west wings on the building, to provide additional cover over the Feet Office. This would sacrifice cover over the neck region and creates an unneeded conflict, so the CC orders the Knees Office the bend to a 45 degree angle. This resolves the temperature issue.
In the CC, the overworked, underpaid, crew works vigorously over control panels, ensuring that all sections of the building are working properly. Lieutenants stare at heart meters, making sure that the Heart Office, which is a 24hr section along with the CC, is still pumping blood to all the other offices. The Heart section went through a breakup recently when a neighboring building decided to relocate. This affected the entire faculty of Mr. Manning Inc. Rumors had spread of the potential merge, getting everyone’s hopes up. This would mean increased pay and a shared work load. But the business deal went bad when the potential partner found a partner with a bigger budget. So now the CC has to keep a close eye on the productivity of the Heart Office, due to low morale.
Every morning the CC is swamped with minor problems from back itches in which the Finger Office cannot reach. The mouth Office reports leaks that spread into the Face Office. The Arm Office reported that its storage compartment has a strange odor; maybe the combined complaints of the Arm and Face Office are the reason that last Business merge failed.
The CC has a heavy load of responsibility, and the members of the Brain Office work Day and Night dealing with issues form minor to major, from breakfast decisions to pillow slobbing. No matter the problem or issue, the CC handles it. They can't afford to take time off. Even in their sleep they have to work on creativity of dreams and costume designs of nightmares. No lunch breaks in this office, no holiday breaks, no rest, because even in a coma, Business is Business.
