Amber, the Bubbly Blonde from Marketing

By Davina Lee

Chapter 1: Free Gravy

I dragged my body into work Monday morning with the only thought on my mind being how much I needed a vacation. This project I was up to my eyeballs in was running behind schedule, and the hours we put in to make up the difference were nearly unbearable. On top of that, I had signed up for a photography class at the community college—I don’t know what I was thinking—and I had a final project due in just two weeks. I need a vacation, I repeated in my mind, or at least some comp time.

But when I walked into the lobby, I got Amber, the bubbly blonde from marketing instead.

Amber, with her perfect hair, dressed in the cutest business casual, was standing behind a table that looked like it had been strategically placed to be tripped over as soon as anyone walked through the main entrance. On the left side, somebody had created an adorable miniature Giza pyramid of Little Friskies cat food cans. On the right it was the Mayans with Alpo. Behind the table was modern architecture, with bagged dry food on a wooden pallet.

In the middle of the table, next to where Amber stood, were a dozen or so photos of the saddest looking animals I had ever seen. At first glance, these pitiful creatures looked like they were straight out of the ASPCA’s holiday fund raiser ads. On closer inspection, I amended that thought. These weren’t the ASPCA’s sad critters, they were their poorer country cousins. Jeez, they looked depressing.

But not Amber. Amber was perky as all get out—obnoxiously so—particularly for a Monday morning. Hiii, I’m Amber, from marketing, she said. I’m helping with the pet food drive for the County Animal Shelter. Would you like to make a donation to save the kitties?

I rolled my eyes just a little. I don’t think she noticed. Sorry, I don’t have any pet food on me at the moment.

Amber was not deterred, not in the slightest. She spun around and produced a small blue pail that rattled with coins when she shook it. That’s okay, Dani, she said. We take cash too.

Um. How did she know my name? I didn’t even have my ID badge on yet. I made a show of patting my jeans pockets. Sorry, sister, I forgot my wallet at home.

I turned and walked down the hall toward cubicle land. I hadn’t left my wallet at home. I’m just a bad person, that’s all. I turned down my row and shuffled over to my desk.
