Hybrid Goth

In the aftermath of the pandemic, Dethany and the Fastrack staff adjust to their new workplace habitat as hybrid employees. Finding their footing can be a challenge, almost like a hoofed creature gingerly making her way through a swamp. Ms. Trellis gives Dethany the assignment of creating satellite offices as a stopgap solution. However, she’s not prepared for the imagination that Dethany will bring to the task. In other Fastrack news, Fi grapples with job dissatisfaction which makes her perfect for conducting staff orientation. Dethany and Fi make a sales call, and Dethany’s childhood friend Patricia is hired by the HR department. (Dethany didn’t use her influence to get her the job, but it did help that Dethany had spent years voicing complaints to her about Fastrack’s shortcomings.) Outside the office, newlyweds Dethany and Guy are visited by Col. Dendrobia. The two make a Goth-flavored road trip, and Fi’s son Curt makes friends with Autocorrect’s daughter Cora. Finally, supply chain issues strike everyone, including Santa Claus. Speaking of which, are elves considered to be hybrid staff?
