Stress - CTU style



I'm stuck at my desk . . .

I am literally terrified to leave it.

the secretary for the CIO is out for the next four days and I'm in charge of her schedule.

This sucks worse than death and taxes combined.
Don't get me wrong, its not the people involved, its the pressure.

When she pokes her head out of her office, I have to be here. If I'm not, Senior level managers don't get papers they need, deadlines aren't met, and critical information isn't passed along. I was so antsy I took 7 minutes for lunch to drive thru and grab food to eat at my desk.

Yikes!

They DO NOT pay me enough for this. I hope Chloe was paid more at CTU than Jack Bauer and Bill Buchanen

COMBINED!

Sounds more like Devil Wears Prada.

Emily: When I am not here... Andrea, you are chained to that desk!
Andy Sachs: But what if I have to...
Emily: What? No! Nothing! One time an assistant left the desk. Oh, because she sliced her hand open with a letter opener, and Miranda missed Lagerfeld just before he was about to board a 17 hour flight to Austrailia. She now works at TV Guide.

Yeah Chloe! Women rule! It's physiological- we use multiple areas of our brains at one time. WE ROCK!
