Thursday, in no particular order
1.
L., who works in the office next to mine needs advice. Can she approach my boss, the CEO? Yes. I reassure her. He welcomes questions and is easy to talk to.
2.
My favorite young assistant is wearing a wonderful floral maxi skirt. It flows beautifully as she walks down the hall and I tell her so.
3.
The new assistant needs a lot of support. She's come from a distant city and everything is a shock to her system. She is overly eager but no one seems to mind.
4.
My friend A. is very sick. Each day she comes to the office is a triumph over illness and the illness has given her unbelievable clarity in vision. It is fascinating to watch.
5.
My friend J. wears pink from head to toe. She does this unselfconsciously.
6.
The new guy IM's me from his first day. He misses us but is excited about his new position.
7.
V.'s red hair is mesmerizing...a tumble of curls and waves, I find myself envious of its romantic tussled look.
8.
The V.P. down the hall shares a joke with me. I am, somehow, on par with the V.P.s and the assistants, bridging both worlds.
9.
I convince the Art Director that he can meet with his staff and then present final sketches to my boss. It is, otherwise, impossible to get everyone in the room at the same time. He trusts me.
10.
I remind The New Guy that his time with us will be a small blip in his history but that he has made an impact nonetheless.
11.
I always look at work emails at home and, though this is okay with me and mine, it has given my boss further opportunity to work after hours which may or may not be prudent.
12.
As I leave the office the receptionist points out that I've had quite a day. I had no idea she was conscious of it but she's right.
With thanks to Alice.

I must tell you that one student came to see me and she had a beautiful vintage lace slip over a short black tunic. As I told her how lovely she looked I knew I was 'blackbird-ing' so you were there right in the middle of my day.
