Go talk to your Team Lead

Your team lead - sort of your most direct boss, although she doesn't actually have much authority - is a woman named Leanna. You find her at your team's pod of cubicles, doing some of her own testing and keeping up on bug reports for the team as a whole. They're testing egg cookers, which are a little hemisphere you put eggs and water into, and then push some buttons, and it boils the egg. Supposedly you can set it to the level of doneness you want and it will produce perfect hard or soft or medium eggs every time.

It has a few buttons on the front, a timer, some settings and so forth, so there's enough software and user interface here that it needs to be tested. Also, the goal is to take ten units through a thousand cycles and see if any of them break before that. You don't have to actually have eggs inside the unit for every cycle, though. Just make sure it heats up and cooks the water off. It's not like they're going to irradiate the eggs, or turn them purple.

Still, your team is cooking a LOT of eggs, and you're supposed to throw them all away instead of eating any. There's some kind of concern you might cook extra eggs if you could keep them - more than the hundreds you will, in fact, have to cook. Leanna's a good boss, though. She's probably going to make sure her team gets to take home enough to have egg salad sandwiches for a while, and screw the rules.

In fact, she hands you a package of a dozen boiled eggs without being asked, and nods at your messenger bag to tell you to hide them.

Jesus, this is so fucking sad you can barely stand it. You're all so broke you're thinking about how many free meals you can get if you refrigerate a bunch of boiled eggs from work. Fred, the oldest guy on your team, is a single dad who works while his kids sleep at his mom's house. He worries a lot about how much it costs to feed them. He probably needs all the eggs he can get.

Leanna looks surprised to see you. She's kind of a milf. She's in her thirties, short, chunky, and really should only be a huggable five. However, she has some of the most gorgeous red hair you've ever seen. It streams down to her waist, perfectly brushed, every night. And the freckles. And she's got a laugh you could listen to all day. Honestly the 1-10 scale is pretty bullshit, and you're not just saying that because you took a course in women's studies, just for the gen ed credit. Sometimes you meet someone and you just want to fuck them.

If everyone was truly honest about who they wanted to jam their genitals up against, with no worries about social preconceptions, the myth of objective attractiveness would fall apart overnight.

With this many people around, you don't think it's a good idea to try to Charm her.
