Which Reminds Me

Many years ago at my first job after college, at Vida Publishers, after some time I was assigned a brand new IBM Selectric typewriter, color red. Pammie-Puke came by and saw that and complained loudly about how I was getting special privileges. A red typewriter, imagine that! She imagines that her redheadness should also merit a red typewriter, but she married a German bankrupt so no one is going to give her a red electric typewriter, especially not now. But of course Pammie-Puke complains about everything in regards to me. Nothing good can happen to me as long as this snarky little Pammie-Puke is counteracting it all with her curses against me.
