The Firing of Eva — More

If I remember rightly, Eva was fired mainly on the advice of Cathy and Bonnie. I am not saying that Cathy and Bonnie don't have their own personal writing problems. Cathy moonlights for a pornography company so it is no wonder that she acts like she is drunk half the time. Bonnie is a good writer but every lead paragraph starts with a mind-jangling metaphor which is a cool writerly thing to do but gets sort of monotonous if used in every single situation for every single story. Still, I have not much sympathy for any continued discussion of the matter of Eva, especially since I don't know anything about it, only remember something that Bonnie said a few weeks after the fact. Eva obviously went on to AP fame and fortune so probably she has completely forgotten about the whole thing by now. I certainly have. I wasn't there very long before Eva was gone so I don't really remember anything except that she was rarely seen in the office and never said anything to me.
