Summary
Roger is a middle-aged 'aisles associate' at a Staples outlet and his co-worker, Bethany is at the end of her Goth phase. One day, Bethany discovers Roger's notebook in the staff room. When she opens it up, she discovers that this old guy is writing mock diary entries pretending to be her - and weirdly, he's getting it right.
