Hazmat suits at the ready

So in addition to the colleague who has been sick since Monday and the two
colleagues on holiday, another colleague is now sick. It appears to be a
different virus from the flu that the other colleague has, but I'm starting
to think that we need Hazmat suits to work here. They're dropping like
flies!

As my department consists of seven people plus Da Boss, we're starting to
look a little thin on the ground and feel rather stretched. Even more
excitingly, another colleague is on holiday tomorrow. If the two sick folks
don't make it in, then tomorrow there will be exactly two people left to do
the work of seven.

All donations of cookies, chocolate and strong coffee gratefully received
until I catch whichever bug is going around and have to go on a milk
and broth diet, too.

The good news is that I have discovered that finance are plonkers. As I'd
just been having the debate with Da Boss and he'd insisted that finance
would know what they are doing about a certain issue, I'm feeling very smug
now.

Challenge me! One line challenge

I did a little bit of work on The Return of Donna Noble while I was waiting for stuff to run today and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. In fact, the fic just needs a tiny end scene and then it's done. So I had a thought.

Last year, the thing that got me unstuck in terms of writing fanfic was taking part in femslash07. That ficathon won't be opening up this year until after Memorial Day (when is this holiday, BTW?) but the thing that was good was that it was fun, the pairing was unexpected and I could go anywhere with it just from a very bare prompt.

So, thinks me, I'll throw it open to my f-list and ask for some challenges. Any fandom that you know I read/write in, gen/het/slash are all good, give me one line (or even just a couple of words) and I'll try to build a fic from it. I'll probably limit myself to the first three or four prompts that I get, but I'll see how it goes.

Any takers?
