Wubbles Discovers How To Herd Cats

How do you get 6 South Beach dieters, 8 anal-retentive interior designers, 3 drama queens, 2 drama kings, and 5 scattered brain design consultants together in a single room?

Buy them cupcakes.

Okay. Backstory: Fan-Girl with job of making gaudy bathrooms, remember? Well, all of here in (mumbles company name) are what you can say interior designers. A little color here, a little tile there, and voila! That would be $800,000 please. Thank ye.

Great creative minds, wicked humor (although Wubbles can't understand their obsession with The Simple Life, carbs, and page 6 of the New York Post gossip column). But try to get them into a single room for two freaking hours of meetings?

"Meow"

Yup. Like herding a whole lot of them. Get 6 in, some come out because their clients called. Lose 3. Get another five in, now 3 won't stay because SHE'S in there, 1 has to go get a coffee for the meeting, now the other 3 wants one too and on and on and on. Our 10:30am meeting always, ALWAYS start at 1pm. (Wubbles shakes stubby arm in the air in outrage. Tosses legal pad in the air and shoots it with its water pistol)

But then, this morning, I had an idea.

(Wubbles waves a 20 watt light bulb, pauses, switches it to a 50 watt)

So I go and get 2 dozen cupcakes from the nearby Buttercup Bake Shop and caaaasually walked into the office with its cheerfully pink and white box.

Gopher head 1 popped out. "What are those for?"

"These? Oh, they're for the meeting at 10:30."

Gopher head 2: "We have cupcakes?"

Pop. Pop. Pop pop pop pop pop pop pop.

We'd promptly started at 10:30 and finished at 12:30 with crumbs and frosting on our lips.

(Fan-Girl high-fives Wubbles, who then promptly helps himself to a Devil Dog Fudge Chocolate cupcake and a tall glass of milk)

Nothing like a little frosting to hold a team together. Put that on a t-shirt. (eg)
