JZ, are you still up for doing something on the 29th?
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Wish me luck -
One of my responsiblities here is "design" and layout for our advertising materials. Scare quotes are due to the fact that everything has to go through several people with varying levels of aesthetic awareness, and, at the end of the day, must meet the final approval of the crazy man who owns this firm.
Now, years of slavish devotion to the offhand whims of a man with no advertising background have finally produced an ad so ghastly that we may have actually just gotten buy in on using *actual design principles* going forward.
Minion (who actually has a degree in advertising) and I are feeling quite vindicated.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, Sheryl. I am so sorry. All kinds of ~ma to you and G.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
oh brenda, I know how that goes. A couple of years ago our president brought in a "marketing specialist" who managed to produce some truly horrendous ads ... and antagonized literally everyone in the office (except the president). After he was faced with a staff revolt - a month before the annual conference - he let her go. Turned out that her main qualification was that in a previous job she'd been a really great secretary.

oh Sheryl, I'm sorry for G. Does he belong to an association that has job finding help?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Perkins, yes, totally.
Aw, man. I really want to stab the doe-eyed med students who keep walking in, staring at me all confused, asking if I'm Doris, and then, when I say (in my professional Helpful Friendly Lady voice instead of the bitter demi-shrift voice I really want to use) "No, I'm not, but she's right inside" and POINT TO EXACTLY WHERE SHE'S SITTING AT HER DESK, just keep staring at me all doe-eyed like they're waiting for me to take them by the hand and toddle them over to her. Can't I stab just one, just a little?

well, just a little.

JZ, How about I stab a med student, and you come stab a summer associate.
Or a first year associate.
Or a partner, for that matter.
