Finding Your Hap Hap Happy Place

Sam is in need of finding what he calls his,'Hap hap happy place'.The world is spinning too fast,and he doesn't know how to stop it.


Normally,Sam thinks,he would have rejoiced in the ordinariness of seeing his two companions,but somehow in this toppsie turvie world of talking telephones,crazy cool CTS's and Zooey Dechanel,their appearance is more discomforting then reassuring.

Sam wants to think that he would have congratulated them,hugged their simple existence.Instead,he is annoyed by them merely interrupting him and Zooey.And worst yet,he is thrilled that they both feel they have to nervously greet him.

It makes him feel both giddy and guilty.

Effenpea is a big,clean friendly factory.They quickly arrive at what Tom calls,the 'spot welding' machines.The man with the 'Moderately Confused' baseball cap is there,hussing and fussing around lights,cameras,etc.

"Sam!Zooey!Good!Good!Good!Look,we're going to take a time lapse montage of you both spot welding thirty or forty pieces.It will all roll together.We might not even use it.But this is basically why we are here.

"This is Stella Freeman,"the man in the ballcap states,pointing to a lady with deep brown eyes and whom even under her bulky welder's uniform,portrays a husky,yet very feminine looking figure.

"Hi,"says Stella,shaking both Zooey and Sam's hands,"Zooey,"she says while others finish putting protective welding gear on both Zooey and Sam,"Zooey,you will be using this machine."

Stella grabs a long aluminum piece of something,"You grab a piece from this box.Now,holding it as far away as possible from the machine,you put the end you're going to weld here at this spot.Then,like so,you push the floor button down with your foot,and voila,the piece is welded.Here,you try."

Tentatively,Zooey goes to the machine.It looks eerily similar to a drill press.When Zooey presses the botton,the drill looking top comes down against the part she is holding,and sparks fly.

"Excellent,"giggles the 'Moderately Confused' man.But Zooey is startled and almost drops the piece.

"You will get that,"says Stella,"That is why you hold it so far away.

'Now,you,Sam,will grab your somewhat shorter piece from this box,then do the same basic steps on this machine."Stella holds the part at the far tip.As the spot weld goes down,mucho sparks go flying."Now,be careful to hold this as far away as possible.This mother can really spark."

Sam does it once for practice.No sparks fly.Easy enough.
