4/20/06 Today With Patty ...

by Patty

I am in the process of interviewing the final applicants for our open Junior Account Coordinator position. We have narrowed down a large number of applicants to two finalists, one male and one female. Frankly, Kipp is rooting for the male strictly because he has been particularly tormented by the females in the office today.

Candy said to emphasize that I said “final applicants”—she does not want to be inundated with any fresh new resumes. So take notice, all you job seekers!

We are preparing for the Triangle Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 Leadership Awards tomorrow night, which is a black tie event. With the exception of myself, all the females in the office have been discussing what they are going to wear. Nicole, for example, is going for the Audrey-Hepburn-Breakfast-at-Tiffany’s look, minus the long cigarette holder.

Kipp SO does not want to hear any more of these girlie discussions. He is still in shell-shock from all the “cleavage” talk that ensued when Kate became Marilyn Monroe for the evening at the Coldwell Banker open house.

The final indignation today for Kipp was when I asked him to repair my cracked fingernail with some Superglue. I asked Nicole first, but she got Superglue on her finger, and now her forefinger and thumb are stuck together. With Nicole around, we don’t have to tell blonde jokes, because she keeps us entertained by thinking them up and acting them out all by herself!

Nicole is my favorite today. She and I ate a whole loaf of fresh Italian bread with real butter. I bought it this morning along with some donuts for everyone. Nicole gave me the idea for the bread when she brought in a whole French baguette the other day and saved most of it for her dinner. I am happy that Italian bread will not be anyone’s dinner tonight … it’s gone.

Tonight this Irish Catholic girl (me) will attend her very first Sons of Italy dinner with my Italian husband and our friend Ralph DiLeone. Kipp informs me that the best food ever is served at these dinners, which are always held at a Catholic church.

Kate has a date tonight, and everyone approves of the ensemble she intends to wear, except for Kipp, who refused to participate in the discussion. What’s wrong with him?
