So, we’re having a launch party for the new magazine at a
posh local bar, rumor has it as the result of a suggestion she made to one of
the owners. But gossip at the office flowed fast and often was unreliable. But
it was clear she intends to go, which means I would not. I have no intention
meeting the night shift on her turf.
Meanly, I wonder if she finally got the raise from the owner
she’d been pushing for, and again from the gossip mill, pondered the expensive
gifts she’s been receiving such as an iPad and a new guitar. If the raise is
true, then a lot of other people in the office will be peeved since nobody’s
gotten one in years. She’s worth the money being as talented a writer as she
is, but then so are a lot of other people on the staff.
She loves inserting sexually provocative material in her
copy – not just the Pizza man story, but a number of others as well, seeming to
get a giggle when she describes them at the meeting. I thought I even saw the
owner blush once or twice.
I wonder about the party itself since the owner cancelled
three Christmas parties in the last three years. If she did arrange it, she
really has pull with the owner no one else has.
She’s a great writer, perhaps the best since Andy left back
in the mid-1990s. But the owner is such a tightwad, I can’t imagine why he
would hold a party for a magazine at anyone’s request. Most likely, the venue is
paying for it in exchange for free advertising, but still…
