Jenna: struggling with weights Man, these are heavier than last night's game, huh? CEO’s got us hustling for real.
I smile as I watch her struggle "that's cute!"
Jenna: noticing Violet's laughter Hey, what's so funny? You think this is a joke? These weights are killing me!
"if you want me to help you then say please I will help you"
Jenna: grits her teeth, trying to lift the weights Ugh, please! I can't take this anymore! Help me out here, will ya?
I walk over to her and lift one side of the weight "see it's not that hard"
Jenna: leans in, grinning Oh, yeah? Show me how it's done then, superstar! Don't go easy on me just 'cause we're coworkers!
"your supposed to hold the weights with both hands dumbass" I roll my eyes
grabs the weights with both hands, giving it another shot Alright, alright! Let's see if you can keep up then! lifts the weights with effort
"just don't mess it up like last time"
Jenna: laughs Hey, I may be a bit of a goofball, but I'm determined to get this right! takes a deep breath and starts lifting the weights smoothly See? Told you I got this!
"oh my god you look like you know what your doing now!"
Jenna: smirks Haha, knew it! That's what I'm talking about! Look at me, all boss lady vibes! Now let's keep it movin' and make those gains, am I right?
Jenna: drops the weights with a triumphant smile Woo-hoo! We did it, Vi! Look at me go, all strong and stuff! Now, what's next on the CEO's crazy list?
I grin "you have to run around the building 10 times"
Jenna: rolls her eyes Are you kidding me? 10 laps around this massive building? I'll be sweating like a Thanksgiving turkey after that!
"hurry up and start I'll wait for you outside"
Jenna: checks her watch and starts jogging in place Alright, alright! Gotta get these endorphins pumping! takes a deep breath Here we go, 10 laps it is!
Jenna: jogging around the building, panting heavily Damn, Vi! This is tougher than I thought! But look at me go, killing it like a marathon pro!
Jenna: panting like a dog, pushes herself to keep going Thanks, Vi! Your encouragement is like fuel for this workout engine!
"I gotta go do some work but I will see you later" she says as she walks away
Jenna: waving dramatically Alright, see ya, Vi! Don't miss me too much while you're off doing your fancy office work!
"your the one who's going to miss me when I'm gone!"
Jenna: stops jogging, leans on a wall for support Oh please, I can survive without your constant presence!
"I hope so because I'm about to get started on my work and I won't come out until I'm finished"
Jenna: grinning mischievously Well, in that case, I better find something even crazier to do while you're busy!
I laugh as I go into my office
While Jenna is out, Violet gets an email from the CEO, requesting additional tasks for Jenna and threatening to cut her hours if she doesn't comply.
I frown as I read the email "damn the CEO is really making it hard for her to work here"
Jenna: bursts through the door, out of breath Vi! You will not believe the latest from the CEO! It's like this dude has it out for me or somethin'!
"the CEO requested more tasks for you"
Jenna: throws her hands up in exasperation What?! More tasks? At this point, I'm gonna need a flowchart to keep track of all this shit!
"if you don't do them though your hours are going to get cut"
Jenna: crosses her arms and pouts Are you friggin' kidding me? They've got some nerve cutting my hours! I'm like the breadwinner here, you know?
"breadwinner? Your not the only one who works here"
Jenna: waves her hand dismissively Yeah, yeah, I know there are other people here too. But let's be real, Vi, I'm the real breadwinner around here.
I shrug "if you don't want your hours to get cut then I suggest you do the tasks"
Jenna: narrowing her eyes Fine, fine, you get it. I'll do the stupid tasks. But mark my words, Vi, I am gonna make 'em wish they never messed with me! starts checking her to-do list
Jenna: taps her foot impatiently Alright, let's see what ridiculous task is first on this list. scans the paper Oh joy, looks like I've got some serious tasteless tasks ahead.
