A menu sails across my desk and knocks over my paperclip holder.
“Earth to Piper Karel,” my co-worker Melissa says, ignoring the
destruction she just caused. “How interesting can reception work really be?
I’ve said your name like three times! I’m calling in a lunch order soon and
going to pick it up. Do you want anything?”
It’s 10:30 a.m. and I’m still nursing the tea I made earlier this morning.
I’ve been too buried sorting out my inbox to even touch my granola bar, let
alone to think about what I want for lunch. I wonder what’s going on in
Melissa’s inbox that lunch is her priority.
I hand the checkered menu back to her and return my paperclips back to
their little rectangular magnetic house. “No, thank you. I’m good.”
“Maybe if you ate lunch once in a while you wouldn’t be such a stick,
Piper.”
“I do eat lunch, Melissa. I just like to eat at the park and get some fresh
air instead of being in this office for nine hours straight every day.”
“You miss all the fun leaving the office for lunch every day. All the
good stuff happens in the lunch room in this place.”
Ah, yes. The office gossip. Just last week I missed some drama. If I’m
ever up for a promotion, I can guarantee I wouldn’t congratulate my
competitor by dumping my salad into her lap.
“I just like some quiet time to myself sometimes,” I reply.
“Right. Enjoy your quiet lunch then. All by yourself. As usual.” She
tosses her hair and flounces away with the menu tucked under her arm.
At twenty-one, I’m the youngest person in the office. I work for a small
fashion design firm. Our activewear line is really popular nationwide and
two seasons ago we partnered with a celebrity designer on a pair of yoga
pants that put the company on the map. I started working here as a
receptionist and general office assistant part-time my senior year of high
school and was brought on full-time after I graduated. Answering phone
calls and typing letters isn’t exactly my idea of a career, but it pays the bills.
The company is growing steadily and there are always openings for new
positions. I’m just waiting for the right one to pique my interest, hopefully
in marketing or product development. For now, I’m happy learning as much
about the products and the company as I can.
When I took this job, I hoped it would be a new start for me across the
board. I was looking forward to being around people who didn’t know how
awkward I had always been, and I thought I’d make new friends.
I was the girl who puked on the first day of first grade and who tripped
wearing black pumps and a mini skirt on the first day of high school. I fell
like a baby deer, legs sprawled, and flashed my panties with little kittens on
them to half the school. They never forgot I was the puker, and they sure as
hell didn’t forget I was the one with the kitten panties.
