The rookie Groupchat

Sassy Lucy Pt 2

Lucy Chen: Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a great morning!

Tim Bradford: Oh god, she's back to normal.

John Nolan: Lucy? Is that you?

Lucy Chen: Of course it's me! Why wouldn't it be me?

Aaron Thorsen: Yesterday you told Martinez his report looked like "a ransom note written by a drunk pirate."

Lucy Chen: I did what now?

Angela Lopez: You don't remember yesterday?

Lucy Chen: I remember it being a bit of a rough day, but I wasn't THAT bad, was I?

Celina Juarez: Lucy, you made three people cry.

Lucy Chen: THREE PEOPLE?! Oh my god, I need to apologize!

Tim Bradford: And there's the Lucy we know and love.

Nyla Harper: What's different about today?

Lucy Chen: Well, I had my usual coffee this morning! Double shot of espresso, oat milk, extra caramel drizzle—

Tim Bradford: The ridiculous drink returns.

Lucy Chen: It's not ridiculous! It's delicious and gives me the energy to be a positive leader!

Wade Grey: So yesterday's reign of terror was because you didn't have coffee?

Lucy Chen: It wasn't a reign of terror! I was just... assertively supervising.

John Nolan: You told me my report looked like "a drunk spider having a seizure."

Lucy Chen: I said that?! John, I'm so sorry! Your handwriting isn't that bad!

Aaron Thorsen: It kind of is though.

Lucy Chen: Aaron! Be nice!

Tim Bradford: She's definitely back to normal.

Angela Lopez: Lucy, you were actually pretty effective yesterday.

Lucy Chen: Effective at being mean! That's not who I want to be!

Celina Juarez: But people actually listened to you.

Lucy Chen: They listened because they were scared! I want them to listen because they respect me!

Tim Bradford: Sometimes fear and respect go hand in hand.

Lucy Chen: Tim, that's your approach. My approach is encouragement and positive reinforcement.

Wade Grey: Speaking of which, how's Officer Martinez doing today?

Lucy Chen: Oh! I brought him a coffee and a donut to apologize for being so harsh yesterday.

Nyla Harper: You brought him a donut?

Lucy Chen: A chocolate glazed one! His favorite!

John Nolan: How do you know his favorite?

Lucy Chen: I asked around! It's important to know what motivates your team!

Tim Bradford: You're literally the opposite of yesterday's Lucy.

Lucy Chen: Yesterday's Lucy was caffeinated-deficient Lucy. Today's Lucy is properly fueled and ready to lead with kindness!
