SOME DAYS HAVE TOO MUCH riding on them, you know? Days when you wake
up and think, This is it. I have to nail it. No pressure.
I might, kind of, a little, be having a day like that.
It’s not every day you land an interview to be personal assistant to the
city’s top lawyer, after all. Much less when you’re so desperate for a full-time
job that you can taste it, a job that will let you balance your schoolwork (to
say nothing of your student loans) with something that pays the rent. If I kill
it at this interview, then I’ll hardly be rolling in cash, but it’ll be better than
the part-time, no-benefits hell pit I’m currently stuck in.
Like I said—no pressure.
The massive heatwave doesn’t help my mood. Why doesn’t Atlanta,
Georgia, have the decency to cool off by Labor Day? As I trudge to my
destiny—I mean, my destination—my blouse begins to stick to my lower
back.
I take a deep breath as I reach the imposing Southstar Building that
stretches up into the clear blue sky. I walk past the huge sculptures of naked,
muscular women frolicking on their pedestals and head for one of Atlanta’s
most prestigious business centers.
Southstar is a fitting home for Parker, Lee & Rusch, one of the most upand-coming law firms in the Southeast. Though it’s only five years in
business, PL&R has another branch in Charlotte. I’ve heard rumors of a third
one opening somewhere in Florida. It’s a place for movers and shakers.
I clutch my briefcase tighter. I’ll have to ask about that. It’s one of my
prepared post-interview questions. The kind you’re supposed to have ready
when a prospective employer says, “So! Do you have anything you’d like to
ask us now?” It’s a chance to prove you’ve done your homework and are
ready to be part of the team.
I rehearse silently: I do have a few questions, actually! This is such a
growing firm, is it true you’re opening a new—
Then I make it through the revolving doors, and all that flies right out of
my head.
Photos hadn’t prepared me. This lobby is one of the ritziest places I’ve ever
seen—not that there’s much competition. My soon-to-be-former employer
rents space in a squat, unprepossessing building in Edgewood. Here,
swooping white staircases point up to chandeliers that seem as high overhead
as the sun. Abstract sculptures dot the lobby. The couches and chairs look
like real leather.
