At times, I long for a personal assistant, my very own CLERK, if you will, who would EXIST solely to write down myself thoughts and musings. Perhaps keep my schedule and take notes of things that matter. This miracle of a human would not become BESOT and a dullard nor feel BESET by hassles and stress. Ah, a girl can dream, no?

Sandy wasn’t sure what to make of her latest lab assistant, couldn’t quite figure out if she was craftily playing a particular ANGLE or was genuinely just a very odd duck. Really she should have contacted references before she HIRED and gotten a fuller picture of what she was dealing with. Sandy watched as Anna created a COMET model all the while muttering about shooting SKEET as if she were having a conversation with someone, complete with all the requisite components of a good exchange- emoting, pauses, clarifications. Sandy was intrigued while also BESET with concern for the functioning of her little realm in the department. She needed no distractions as she sought additional grant funding and administrative approval.
