A hiring story of yellow sticky notes

I was just settling into the Futon Of Love to catch 'Roswell' this afternoon when Lucas showed up in my inbox. The boss is usually too busy to bug me with whatever it is marketing people do after lunch, so I pushed myself out of my comfy pose to make the long stroll to my work desk/card table/three and a half piece dining set.
It was worse than I feared. Lucas has fallen in love, or at least in like, with the former intern from AdRants.
Ok, fine, space aliens can wait a moment...
It's been a month or so now and I still haven't quite figured out what he's going to have me do. Right now, he has me coming into his office like 10 times a day to bend over and pick up this pile of papers he always has on the ground and then climb up this ladder to file the papers in this really cool, glass-floored loft he has above his desk. He's always leaning back in his chair, talking on the phone and watching me while I file. Is this just what everyone has to do during their first year in advertising?Lucas, I hate to break this to you, but after several minutes reading that post, and some quality time with the full size image of Miss Stickies, I don't think she's in your future. Unless AdRants has started labeling their real-life stories of the industry under "Spoofs."
I'm telling Gautam to have your browser cache checked, unless I'm distracted by something arriving in my PayPal account by quitting time, capice?
