How long ago did you sack Christy, exactly?
“Hm? Oh, it was the end of last week, I believe!” Replies Mr. Hare in a helpful voice! “We try to let go of employees closer to the weekend to, erm…”
“Lessen the blow.” Concludes Ms. Mantis with growing concern in her voice. “But I sense you’re asking for a reason.”
You are, you nod, because if you had to pick the perfect assistant, you’d <span class="mu-i">have</span> to choose Christy. No doubt about it!
“<span class="mu-r">Weren’t you considering Mitzi for a sec, though?”</span> Asks Nats as the board members fall into a flurry of murmurs!
Yea, you shrug, but you know her–she’d probably do a good job the first day, but then she’d get bored and pull shit like organizing office chair jousts or building cardboard box forts in the cubicles!
… actually that’d be pretty awesome, but probably not good for business… She’d probably insist on wearing that stupid <span class="mu-r">MAID COSTUME</span> she has every day, too… her and her dumb jokes…
“Not to sound pedantic, Ms. Parble,” Interjects Ms. Crane in a diplomatic tone, “But given her inability to uncover Ms. Bruckmann’s plans, are you <span class="mu-i">certain</span> Blumenkrantz is the right choice?”
Positive, you snarl as you dramatically slam your fist onto the table! There’s only one candidate on that list who can keep this company afloat while juggling meetings, drafting emails, fighting off skeletons, and cooking a bomb-ass lobster dinner, and it’s <span class="mu-g">CHRISTY BLUMENKRANTZ!</span> No doubt about it!
The board falls silent once more as the members dive into thought.
“Well…” Sighs Mr. Fox as the apprehension slowly leaves his voice, “She <span class="mu-i">DID</span> have an impressive service record for the company…”
“She’ll still be in the company system, too.” Growls Mr. Rat from his den at the end of the table, “Just have HR plug her back in and it’ll be as if nothing happened.”
“<span class="mu-i">IF</span> she chooses to return, that is.” Ms. Crane corrects in a teacher’s voice.
“And if she does, <span class="mu-i">you’ll</span> bear the responsibility for her actions, Ms. Parble.” Adds Mantis with a hint of warning in her icy tone. “After all, <span class="mu-i">you’re</span> the one vouching for her reliability.”
… yea okay shit, maybe it’s a good thing you didn’t recommend Mitz. You don’t wanna be responsible for <span class="mu-i">THAT</span> party animal, that’s for sure!
