I'm Here to Assist You (Dinah/You)

You Got A Job

Beeeep. "Hello, Ms. Y/LN, this is Daniel Brown from Epic records. We met last week to discuss you possibly filling an assistant position. Well, I was calling to let you know that we really enjoyed you during your interview and would very much like to invite you back to Epic's office to meet the band we hope to pair you with. We're hoping you can stop by tomorrow morning at 8 o' clock. Please call us back at this number to confirm, and we look forward to seeing you again. Have a good day." Click.

Being an assistant wasn't your first choice, your mind was always focused on being a publicist. Nowhere on your dream board does it even hint at being an assistant; but then again you never finished your dream board, and all you really have on it is a few pictures of some abs, smart water, and Hawaii. You still had the magazines spread out on the floor and open to random pages.

But life got a bit difficult after college. The internships you did during college never called you back, only gave you a few half-hearted generic recommendation letters. And the other jobs you applied and interviewed for either weren't what you were looking for, or you weren't what they were looking for. So you decided to try the next reasonable thing that would help you gain the necessary experience and contacts, and also help you begin saving for your upcoming student loan payments. The end of your 6 month grace period was closing in on you and you really needed to find a job.

Thankfully, your best friend, Jamal, happened to have much better luck than you. He started work at epic records as a PA to one of their contracted producers after graduation, and being the "dopest best friend there ever was" he pulled some strings to get you an interview with the PA coordinators so you could hopefully get a job.

Since you had just gotten out of the shower, you decide to change before you call back Mr. Brown's office. Even though it was a phone call you can't help but think he would be able to tell you're naked, and though it's flattering to be on someone's mind you really don't want to be on Mr. Brown's mind. Maybe Kendall Jenner's, because she's definitely always on your mind!

Ring, ring.... "Epic Records. Daniel Browns office." The female voice sounds a bit rough and tired, and you feel a little intimidated now. "Hello, My name is (Y/FN and LN), and I just received a call from Mr. Brown about the PA job. I'm just calling to confirm that I will be there tomorrow morning." Your voice waivers a bit because all you can hear is harsh breaths from the scary secretary lady, who you imagine to look like that even scarier principle from the movie Matilda.

There's a tiny huff and a shuffle of papers, "Ah, yes. Ms. Y/LN. I'll let Mr. Brown know that you've accepted his offer, and we'll see you tomorrow morning. Please also bring your personal documents such as: birth certificate, social security card, driver's license or state ID; you'll also be filling out paper work to make you an official employee." The secretary's tone shifted to a more calm and lighter one, and you loosen up a bit. "Ok. That sounds great. I'll see you tomorrow, thank you for your time."

You smile and do a tiny dance, because even though being a personal assistant wasn't your first choice, at least you're not going to drown in student loan bills and have bad credit at 22. You grab your keys and wallet and head to the mini mart around the corner to pick up some cheap wine and beer, so when Jamal gets home you guys can both celebrate while you play Mortal Kombat. Maybe you'll even let him win because you're feeling happy and a bit nice...nah. Might as well keep the good day rollin'.
