Upon
reading a terse email message from her boss requesting that she accelerate a
four-week project into three days, Cora flipped her dark silken hair over her
shoulder with a nonchalance that only the most confident of editors might
possess. She gracefully slipped her right hand into the second drawer of her
filing cabinet and withdrew a small plastic box. With purpose and
determination, she strode into her boss' office, lay the box on the smooth
mahogany surface of his credenza, and quietly stated "I may be quick, Sir,
but in three days I will still have respect and your client will be
dissatisfied." Without pausing at his blank stare, she removed a strand of
snark floss from the box, deftly flicked
several bits of utility reports and white board shards from her fangs, and
promptly returned to her workstation.
