We Hear for You!

[talktotom]

Tom Wambsgans, Chairman of Global Broadcast News at ATN. We hear for you!

I’m here to make sure my precocious sherpa Gregory doesn’t bring us down in flames with his incessant use of social media.

You can find him at @goaskgreg, though I don’t think he’ll offer very stimulating conversation. It’d be better if you direct at least anything regarding Waystar Royco and ATN to me. Seems at least he did the minimum of reminding that any personal opinions on this blog are not associated with any of Waystar Royco™️ or its properties, and I reiterate that here.

you’re sitting across from me in a shitty diner in anywhere, america, and i watch you pour too much creamer in your coffee and i think “i love you.” you look up, catching me staring, and for a moment i think i’m brave enough to say it, but i take too long and the moment passes. i take the balled up straw wraper and flick it at you, pretending that was my plan all along. you laugh. i never want to go another day without hearing that laugh. i think i will have all the time in the world to say it.

Apologies for the inactivity as of late, I have just returned from a visit to the homeland of the good old state of Minnesota. 😎 Mama n' papa send their well wishes, but it's back to ol' mill as it were. If anybody has anything interesting to share about their own holidays, I can see about having a look if I get the time.

[talktotom]

I meant that you’re in love with each other, but yeah I want that! 😫

Ahh. Well the two go hand in hand, don't they? 🥰 Having such a thing with your best friend is a beautiful notion.

It'll come to you, I'm sure of it! Don't give up, anonymous being.

..saw this on instagram and couldnt resist lmaoo

[talktotom]

GREGORY. Smh. Do I have to spank you? Because I will. I will bop you smack on the fucking tooter.

[goaskgreg]

Hm. maybe you do, Tom. maybe you do. 😏

[talktotom]

Oh, I see. This was a ploy. A fiendish plot to get me to take you over my knee and give you what for. Very well, I accept. And how fortunate it is working hours are long over, and you're only a room over. Come. To the living room. Now.

[goaskgreg]

haha um. yep. be right there 🫡

[talktotom]

…It seems your plan was successful, no? I taught you well 😎

[goaskgreg]

i would say so, Tom. on both counts.

And on a totally unrelated and irrelevant note, i think i should get to call in gay from work.

[talktotom]

Hmmm yes. On that we are in agreement.

Call in gay? Now that’s a new excuse for the books. I believe I’ll need you to prove it and I’ll make an assessment as to whether or not it’s valid and you can ditch work.

[goaskgreg]

If you would see Tom, in fact, under that post i reblogged a second time with a correction that i meant to say sick. or, more accurately, sleep-deprived.

i............ on the one hand would like very much to not confirm nor deny to the likes of you whether i am. uh. gay. however- if what you're saying is that i could prove to you i am gay that you'll let me ditch work. well. prove it i just may do. can you tell me, Sir, what form you would like the proof to be in?

[talktotom]

Hah! I see, I see. I missed that earlier but I find it astonishing that you managed to mistake sick for gay, I mean that is a feat, even for you.

Well, let’s just say that I hadn’t already conceded to your little puppy dog eyes and let you stay home, sweetheart, I’m sure you yourself could come to some kind of conclusion that would leave all parties satisfied as well as prove the aforementioned point. Having as many talents as you do.

[goaskgreg]

Okay okay, well, i didn't exactly mistake it it's-- it was a joke, you know, that Swedish people in the 70s called in gay to work because, like, homosexuality was indeed considered an illness at one time. which. is. kinda bad when you think about it

but then i didn't mean to actually post it like that and swiftly attempted to correct my error, clearly, to no avail

um yeah though like. um. good point. i suppose there are. a variety of avenues i could take to offer the proof you seek, that which is in question here. i'm sure i can... come up with something.

[talktotom]

Uhuh. Look at you floundering like a fish on the beach. You’re so fucking cute. A poorly executed joke it is, then.

You did indeed! Such a good boy, trying to correct yourself. An attempt should be taken into account, I must say.

I see! Well that’s just jim dandy isn’t it, Sporus? And how appropriate, no coming home late for me as I am, ah, afflicted, with the same sickness and unfortunately had to stay at home in bed as well. So you can. Offer that proof whenever you’re ready.
