Re: Dessert Cart Lady
It is all over the building that the T.O.D. is going to give the Dessert Cart Lady the heave ho for not handing over a piece of pie to Stu Hertzog at lunch today. Is this true?

Re: Ida Lopez
It’s true. The T.O.D. says *I* have got to fire her. Today. Jen, how am I supposed to fire that sweet old lady? This has to be a mistake. English isn’t her first language. Maybe there was a misunderstanding. I mean, she always calls me dearie when she sees me in the hallway, and sneaks me chocolate chip cookies, even though as a new hire I am not even allowed in the senior staff dining room. Plus everyone—EVERYONE—at the paper loves her.
Everyone except Stuart Hertzog, apparently.
But he’s a lawyer.A LAWYER. What does that tell you about his abilities as a judge of character? Hmmm?
Oh my God, I wish I had called in sick today.
