possession

the General and the Ninja interviewed a girl for my job-sharing thing today. when they were done, the General came to my desk and asked me to come in and meet her. it was sort of weird but my curious self couldn't wait to meet her.

i sat down beside her and the General went over what the arrangement would be, mentioned that i would be doing most of the training and then he excused himself and the Ninja so the two of us could talk. she seems really nice and was more concerned with what i thought about the two lawyers we would be working with than what the workload was like. i asked her what they had told her about the way the work would be split and she said that she understood it as she would be taking instruction from me or the two lawyers and she didn't really mind from whom.

now, i know she's not MY secretary... but it's kind of neat to think i'll have help the way the Mentor does!

except, when i went to go tell the Mentor about the interview, she immediately said, "how come they didn't ask ME to meet her?" and then she started going on about how we should convince her to work on mondays (she wants to work tuesday, wednesday and thursday, which is just fine with me). i immediately thought, "i need to talk to our administrator first thing in the morning before they offer her the job!"

not your help, my help! it's not my fault that none of her lawyer's secretaries have gotten along with her. seriously, after awhile and after a few secretaries have passed through the office unsatisfactorily, wouldn't you start to think, "maybe it is me?"

she'd better not scare of my secretary! i mean, not my secretary :)
