It's All About Wording (open)
It had taken some time to figure out exactly how to do this, but it all came down to the wording. Tim didn't lie on the requisition form, he did need a cooling unit in the lab since there were chemicals and things that needed to stay cool or they would go boom, but the cooling unit wasn't exactly a typical lab type of cooling unit. With the newly renovated lab space there was enough room for Tim to finally have space for what he had been dreaming about for some time now.

On the Purchase Rec it was a cooling unit. In actuality it was way more than that. The rec went in through the normal channels and got approved. A few weeks later it was delivered and Tim had set it up in the lab. One side for beer and one side for those things that would go boom. He had put those things that go boom in there and had put some of his own brewed beer in it.

	"Fine, fine. My price is the continued privilege of being able to innocently pass by with coffee and have that turning into geeking out and testing those fun little gadgets you always have around." Lena paused and considered this new flavour. "I feel like that would either be heavenly or an abomination and...I'm not sure which one it is..." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure," he said. "You know you're welcome here anytime." Tim liked it when she stopped by. Lena was easy to talk to and he didn't get all nervous around her. "It's rather good." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lena liked stopping by, Tim was fun to hang out with and another lab geek to talk to was always welcome. "It's why I keep barging in," she chuckled. "I'll have to try it one day. Coffee alone pretty much fuels me." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Next time I'm on the ground I'll get you a bottle," he said. "I haven't tried brewing it yet." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Really? Why not? Is the process difficult?" (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-10-25 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	"No, just haven't tried it. Maybe one of these days." Tim had thought about coffee flavored beer, but he wanted to perfect regular beer before moving into the exotic stuff. (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Add it to your list of beers to make. What's the one exotic one you most want to try making?" (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-10-25 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	"You're drinking it," he said. "Nothing too exotic outside of raspberry." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well then I'd say the experiment was a smashing success." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim grinned. "Thanks. I will make sure to keep this recipe and make more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-26 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Fully agreeing there. Are you going to start being the fun beer source around here or is the brewing more for yourself? Which would make sense, too good to share and all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, you know I'm not a huge beer person so I promise I am barging in on your lab for the pleasure of your company and conversation and not for free beer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim smiled. "I appreciate you stopping by for whatever the reason." Lena was nice, probably one of the nicest people he knew, and had it not been for his thing for Sammy he could see himself really liking her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Feel free to stop by in mine anytime for coffee. But I'm afraid I don't have any cool beer coolers to show you," she smiled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will remember that and take you up on it. A man can't live on beer alone and goodness knows I can't let my caffeine levels drop too low." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-27 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh no Tim, you can never let your caffeine levels get too low. That's death around here. Clearly, in the name of your continued mental health, it is imperative you visit for coffee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-10-27 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	Tim chuckled. "Exactly. That would be bad for everyone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good. We have a legit medical excuse for coffee breaks. So you have no excuse not to drop by." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ooh that's a serious oath there. I'll believe you then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I meant it," he said. "Besides, I like talking to you. You're a great person." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was teasing you," she laughed and gave him a playful whack on the shoulder. "And the feeling is mutual. I wouldn't be inviting you to the sacred lab space if it wasn't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-10-27 10:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Ow," he said and rubbed the spot she whacked. It didn't hurt, but he could tease right back. Tim smiled. "I know we're coworkers, but I'd like to think we're friends as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-27 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	She rolled her eyes but smiled, knowing he was just teasing. "You wound me Tim," she teased. "Here I thought that was already established." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
