todayiamadaisyWe have a new office admin. She's just out of school and doing what (dons pince-nez) in my day was called deferring but what the young folk now call a gap year. She seems like a nice girl but she makes me feel terribly old because she slouches and every time I pass her desk I think, 'Sit up straight!' So far I have managed not to say it aloud.
Today's pointless argument with Angela (we were watching some of the Oscars telecast while eating our afternoon fruit): is Matthew McConaughey deserving of being famous? Angela says yes because he's 'eye candy'; I say no because he brings nothing to his films, in looks or acting, that someone like Brendan Fraser or Owen Wilson (depending on the genre) couldn't do better. Such are the important issues occupy our working hours.
