Overheard Starbuck

"When he's using the microwave I've seen him stand there and wait until all four final beeps are over."
---"Well if he's afraid of the radiation..."
"No he says he's noticed he feels more generous, more magnamous overall, if he doesn't rush it to finish its job. Those four beats are 'like ascending notes on a musical scale', or 'four steps he's taking up a spiral staircase'"
---"Beeps. Four beeps."
"That's what I said beeps."
