Maybe I'm not up for this after all.

You'll be fine. Just remember to wear something professional – not that purple sweater you seem to favor – when you do the interviews, to set the right tone.

Well, after dating/being engaged to you this long and acting as your personal assistant, it's nice to know there is someone to help me.

What do you mean, my assistant?

Who schedules everything for you and keeps track of all of your stuff? That would be me. Let's just say the hours are long and the pay is lousy. I hope to be a better boss to my assistant.

Ouch! I'll show you who's boss tonight.

I just interviewed a great candidate to be my assistant. She's got a year of experience at another PR firm, wants to learn and move up the corporate ladder and went to school in Boston, which as we know is my favorite American city. The only problem is that she's super hot – tall, leggy but thankfully not blonde. If I don't hire her, is that discrimination?

Now that you've put it in writing, yes that is discrimination.

Damn! I think you're right. Darn electronic footprint! Oh well, I was going to hire her anyway. She's the best person for the job, even if she's gorgeous and young. And her name is Skye.

Of course her name is Skye. I will now refer to her as Skinny Skye. Will she have access to your email account?

Subject: Re: Boston Babe
No, that will still be password protected – thankfully. So we can talk about our insane jealousy of her without fear of discovery or reprisal. So feel free to tell me something completely unfit for the workplace. I'm all ears!

Excellent. Wish I could dazzle you with inappropriate stories of sexual adventures but I've gotta run. Mwah! Mwah!

Skinny Skye is on board. She starts next Monday.

Hey, Renee. I didn't want to call in the middle of the night but I wanted to say hey.

You're not answering your phone. I miss you, too. I'm sorry. So so sorry. Sorry for what you are going through and sorry for being the one to find out and tell you.

Subject: Re: Hey
There's no reason to be sorry. You did me a huge favor. I just wish I had known earlier.
