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.

Book: He could hurry... a little.

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?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
well, just a little.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
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.

I went to both places at once, or to a hybrid "Throw a Stranger's Momma From The Train" place complete with lushly gloomy black-and-white cinematography, slashy subtext leaking through to the text, frying pans over the head and a pop-up book.
