    I would laugh. And laugh. And laugh. Then make her do push-ups. Can't show favoritism just because I know her.

    If undead came to my work I would bring him endless beer (and then make him pay for it) and likely be repremended for spending too much time talking about zombies with a customer. We would make out amoung the mops and boxes of straws and sugar sticks in the back. Xoxo

    Boldly go.

    Loony BoB once contacted me through my work email and I gave him the same response I give to all my clients. Literally. I use Gmail's "canned response" option to quickly answer common email requests. I think it weird him out!

    I did not know Gmail had that feature. Can I get that in real life? I'm real close to passing out an FAQ card every time someone asks me a pregnancy question. July 15th, fine, girl, my first, no name, and yes I'm excited FFS.

    I treat most people the same at work. If someone's visibly bummed I might do something extra nice for them, or if something went wrong in their day I might give them something for free. Celebrities get treated the same, though sometimes a VIP will send down a representative to buy things for them and we have to get all their trout ready in advance, but nothing that's a big deal.

    If one of you showed up, I would assume it's because your car broke down on a road trip. It's a bit of a drive just for maintenance.

    I'd try to get you back on the road as quick and affordable as possible. You'd have to put up with my eclectic music and suffer through my father's tour of the race side of the shop, though.

    The maybe we could grab lunch. Shion might come out too!

    Go to your Gmail settings -> Labs -> Enable Canned Responses

    Then compose a new email response and then save it under Canned Responses -> New Canned Response...

    Then you can just insert that response into any appropriate emails.

    If rubah came into my place of work, I would say hello, then tell her to go away because she obviously speaks English to a fairly advanced degree.

    My boss, however, would pounce at the opportunity to show off another laowai, so rubah would probably end up sitting at the front desk welcoming people.

    If Shiny came to my work I'd be (pleasantly) surprised and we'd probably go out and get dinner and talk about movies. Because I don't work.

    If foa came into my work, I would give her a hug, say hi, and catch up about things. Assuming she was an AEGON employee (which everyone who comes into our office is, and therefore is a client) I would probably get away with spending a good hour having a good long chat. I would introduce her to my esteemed colleagues, too, who are all pretty cool'n'stuff. If it was the end of the day then afterwards we would certainly go out for drinks, and I would call Danielle and ensure she joins us.

    If Loony BoB came to my workplace, he'd probably be asking for directions because it's such a huge store, so I'd send him on a wild chocobo chase in every direction but the right one.

    I'd also get my staff to assemble and put out some hilarious BooBy traps for him.
