Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have a coffee cake muffin.

Which is a cupcake.

I used to eat one of these between breakfast and lunch. I'm still picking on this morning's one.

Placed the order. I hope the sizes work - I don't usually buy tops or jackets online because I'm not a solid size fit. I went with the higher size since this is designer wear and I'm assuming the fit will be more snug.

I think I definitely need a quick nap before heading out for the play tonight, because suddenly I have woozy exhaustion cancer.

Punishingly Intricate

Placed the order.

I love the stars sweater!!! of course!!!

I was looking on bluefly the other day to see if I could find ideas for dresses I might like (per ita's suggestion) and there wasn't a single one that I thought would look good on me! so depressing!

Nothing like knowing there's a bomb threat outside and hearing sirens go off.

Sorry about that, lisah. No ideas at all?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

They'd say they wanted a receptionist, but they really wanted an assistant. I would rat them right out to the agency. There would usually be some BS about how the person who placed the order didn't really know what was required . . .

A lot of people, too many really, don't know the difference. Hearing someone call me "the receptionist" makes me LIV-ID. Yes, I do answer the phones like a mad woman and make sure when people know their appointments are here, but I also prepare files, do grant research, outreach, fundraising, shipping and receiving, some tech support. I coordinate schedules. I set up voicemails and conference calls. I am the keeper of every password in my region. I pull off multiple region-wide events and create nearly every presentation an piece of literature that comes out of this place.

I. Am. A. Fucking. Assistant.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Yeah, definitely a skill. The definitive skill I learned in journalism school was to kiss the assistant's ass. She can decide if you see Bigshot or not.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It's just a reduction of everything I do to "answering phones and greeting people with some light typing on the side." Which is actually kinda one of my problems with Jackass coworker. He doesn't really think I "do" anything since his head is too far up his ass to notice anyone else unless he feels inconvenienced.

Am I the only one who gets an unfortunate Dexter flashback from that link?
