May 2011 brings us wonderful opportunities.


Private - Marian

Hello, Marian. How were the Holidays on your ends?

It's not even six o'clock and I've already given candy to almost two dozen trick or treaters. The curfew has certainly brought them around early.

I hope everyone is having a good Halloween night. Please be careful out there.

There are fewer things more beautiful that a just blooming rose.

I love it it when roses bloom. It's like living in a little garden in the middle of the city.


[Private]

Am I going crazy? I could swear my rosebushes are missing some roses.

[Private]

Things have been pretty nice over here. My brother made a surprise visit as well so it has been like old times. I hope next time we meet our father will be with us.

I should be heading back in a couple of days. And I'll bring cake.

[Private to Paul]

I think I found the box. I would have looked into it sooner but we had this... situation.

My brother says hi. Apparently he got to play a few games with you back in the day?

Leslie was pretty... odd when I called her, specifically about sleeping arrangements. That can only mean they turned my old room into something else.

I was too afraid to ask what has become of my roses.

It's amazing the amount of work that appears out of nowhere the second you ask for the following week off. Looks as if I'll be pulling all-nighters for the rest of this week.

Could I ask you about something? It's a legal matter.

[Private]

Great. Just... great.

I need someone with a good knowledge of the Neverland District. Someone who can be discreet. I will pay for your troubles.

Little Raven Brother called again about that date. I said yes. I'm not sure it was the best idea.

Planning a charity luncheon for OzCorp wouldn't be so hard if I didn't know I have to attend it as well. At least is not a ball

SUBJECT: Seating Chart.

Blue,

I'm attaching a copy of the modified seating chart for the upcoming charity luncheon. The original was pretty good but some changes had to be made. For the record, the Raven Brothers cannot all be together in one table as they'd bring the whole place down in minutes. And a certain bearded man has to be kept at least four tables away from any of his ex-wives.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any more questions.

Yours,
Layla Rosewood.

I cannot believe this is happening.

Oh, Rosa...

It's scary how work has become a safe haven. Things may far from perfect at the office but I get some level of control over them. When I sit back and really look at the tasks at hand, it can be rather easy to make everything work if you know the right words to say, the right people to talk to. Life outside work? Not so much.

I just wish there something I could do.

Another intern just quit. He simply said this was too much and walked off the door. I wish I could say this is an unusual sight but you know it isn't.

I understand our job is not an easy one, but looking at how little most interns last around here, I can't help but wonder how the rest of us has lasted this long.

My older sister is pregnant. She's really excited about it and wants me to come visit her for the baby shower. Three years I would have gone without thinking, but now I just want to catch up with my paperwork, hire an asistant that will last longer than a week and maybe take some off to read. I used to love the country so much. Growing up there truly gave us the strenght to be a family again. But after I moved back, I find myself longing to go back to such a simpler life less and less. There's so much to and I couldn't do out there, but here.

I guess I'm a bit of a prisoner on this city. All for my father.


[Private to Billy]

How was the job interview? I hope things went well.

I've seen to be getting a really bad migraine. Which is not really news - they pretty much come and go when I'm stressed - but this one is particularly bad.

[Private to Billy]

Billy, if you're still looking for a job, the Chief of Personnel at Oz Corp can see you tomorrow at three for an interview. Let me know if you're interested.

Sometimes I think the whole thing is hopeless. Even Father says to just let him spend the rest of his days in jail and move on with my life. Maybe he is right. But he is my father, how can I just move on knowing what he's going through?

Maybe I just need a little break. What do kids my age do for fun these days?

Looks as if I won't be able to escape this year's New Year's party at the office. There goes my hope of staying in with a book.

Wish me luck?
