Summary
Martin Blackwood has never been the most confident. When in new social situations he always felt out of place. So, when he finds himself almost two hundred years in the past on his first day of work, this feeling only grows stronger.

Martin the time traveller (sorta)!! Can't wait to definitely not use this to cause him emotional pain

Summary
It had been his parent's anniversary. Twenty-three years. And he'd told himself it wouldn’t get to him this time.
It did.
So instead, he asks the dumbest, safest thing he can think of.
“What’s for breakfast?” he goes, voice casual; might as well start neutral before they spiral into something heavier.
Kazansky, glances back briefly—enough to check that Mitchell’s upright and alive, probably, or maybe just out of incredulity—then turns to flip something sizzling in the pan, reply exactly what Mitchell was expecting.
“Eggs and bacon.”
Or, Bradshaw and Kerner have the brilliant idea to send Mitchell's sworn rival over to his place during their leave. And on the man's parents' death anniversary, things are bound to go sideways.

Summary
The strings wrapped him in their web, starting from his chest and twisting and fluttering around him.
There were friends at the ends of these strings, Mr. Spider had told him as a child. He just had to follow the strings where they lead.
There were victims at the ends of these strings, The Mother had told him. They would be delicious.With curiosity, Jon reached out and let the bright red string curl around his finger freely. The most beautiful, he thought. It tightened around him. In response, Jon gave it a gentle tug.
Instantly, his vision was overtaken.
Tea, made perfectly with milk and a dash of sugar and a lot of love. A deep, deep loneliness. A lie on a resume. White fog, dusty shelves full of documents, a sound like wet pasta. Fear, fear, fear. Jon’s face, all eight of his eyes open, gazing sharply at something behind him.
Love, love, love. So much love.
A gunshot.
“Martin!” Jon gasped, coming to. “Who the hell is Martin?”
Or:
Jon doesn't escape Mr. Spider, and becomes a child avatar of the Web. This changes some things, but not others.
Now complete!

Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,
New ManagerAbigail Bailey runs a successful management advice blog. One frequent contributor is from a workplace with some... issues.
