Hands wigged out.
Duh. We all should’ve seen that one coming. The guy was totally weird, but I guess I really didn’t think he’d freak on Shirley and try to kill her! I mean, dude. All I can say is thank god for those typing lessons. I can’t even imagine what would have happened . . . And here I was honestly going to make an effort to be nicer to him, I really was. I mean, I kind of owe him one, but maybe it’s just as well that I didn’t. Can I just say I was completely and utterly CREEPED OUT when he called me the hot secretary who makes him nervous? *shudders* But you know, it is unfair how the partners were treating him. I mean, Alan and I couldn’t have won that case without him. The guy is a genius. Everyone takes advantage of his super brain, and then just – poof! – disregards him when they don’t need him anymore. Uncool.
But whatever. I’m just still just trying to recover. I am happy for Mr. Chase though. He seems to fit in really well with the partners. It’s just too bad everybody can’t be a partner.
This is so the weirdest job I’ve ever had.

Oh, and before I forget, sorry for falling asleep in your office the other day. Won't happen again.
January 12 2006, 00:04:39 UTC 6 years ago
I apologize, by the way, for any distress the ordeal might've caused you. If it makes you feel better, I never got any cake.
*smiles* You're welcome to the couch any time. You're a much more tranquil sleeper than I am.
January 12 2006, 14:24:19 UTC 6 years ago
You don't need to apologize. You were the one who saved the day. That was great how you talked the knife right out of his hands - oops I mean, yeah. Funny how that word keeps coming up. You didn't miss much. I think the cake was just for looks. Too many calories anyway, Alan. *smiles*
Your couch is really really comfortable. But that reminds me, how is it . . . going? Those, you know, night things. Is it getting any better?
January 12 2006, 22:08:52 UTC 6 years ago
*pleased* I didn't save the day. I salvaged a few minutes. *sobers* What I meant was--and let me say first that these sorts of incidents are by no means typical--I'm sorry you came to work expecting to type and ended up fearing for your safety. You ought to petition Shirley for hazard pay.
*nods* It is, thank you for asking. I haven't been tempted take any running leaps from the balcony since
Denny and I began sleeping togetherthat night...for some time now.January 13 2006, 16:08:23 UTC 6 years ago
Yeah! *puts hands on hips* I should get hazard pay. Oh wait though, I guess I wasn't the only one in danger. And I heard this kind of thing happens a lot. Didn't you get held at gunpoint once? *raises eyebrows as if to ask, is that really true*
I'm glad to hear Denny is helping you. I'm sorry I couldn't . . . " shrugs and looks slightly regretful but tempers it with compassion. "But I'm really glad you're better."

Yes, there was a rather tightly wound gentleman who believed negotiations for the return of his children might be conducted more expediently at the point of a pistol. It's not common occurrence.
Melissa, you did all you could. You endured what must have been a terrifying experience and you may well have saved my life. The only reason Denny fares any better is that he could sleep through a third World War. In any case, thank you.

Besides, Paul told me someone said I'm a smiling Ken doll with an aggressive handshake. *rolls eyes* Wonder who that was.

Don't be a tease, Brad. What came after?
January 13 2006, 09:56:01 UTC 6 years ago
Says I should do something about you. Thinks you have one of those impulse control disorders. I think he used the word grandiosity. I said maybe he wants to be like - what - the Incredible Hulk doll?
January 13 2006, 15:22:15 UTC 6 years ago
The Incredible Hulk derived power from his anger. I'm more than capable of keeping mine in check.

*laughs* You know, you do kind of look like - no, never mind.

January 12 2006, 20:21:46 UTC 6 years ago
Yes. That's exactly how people define us. Happens to blondes all the time. I mean, I know it comes with the turf when you've got a fabulous exterior, but I do get tired of it.
January 12 2006, 20:36:50 UTC 6 years ago
You and I - we just need to keep proving we've got the smarts to back it up, but it's people like Jerry who pay the price of that prejudice. I mean - Alan hired you and I'm a partner now. *ironically* Tough life.
January 12 2006, 21:04:08 UTC 6 years ago
Do you really think I'd make a good hostage negotiator? Oh, and congratulations by the way. I'm sure you'll make a totally great partner.
January 12 2006, 21:22:07 UTC 6 years ago
No. *Brad believes in being straight forward* But a professional typist, yeah. *Shoving his hands in his pockets, he shrugs one shoulder* Thanks. Validation.
