It’s one of my prepared post-interview questions. I’ve heard rumors of a third one opening somewhere in Florida. Though it’s only five years in business, PL&R has another branch in Charlotte. Southstar is a fitting home for Parker, Lee & Rusch, one of the most up-and-coming law firms in the Southeast. I walk past the huge sculptures of naked, muscular women frolicking on their pedestals and head for one of Atlanta’s most prestigious business centers. I take a deep breath as I reach the imposing Southstar Building that stretches up into the clear blue sky. Why doesn’t Atlanta, Georgia, have the decency to cool off by Labor Day? As I trudge to my destiny-I mean, my destination-my blouse begins to stick to my lower back. The massive heatwave doesn’t help my mood. If I kill it at this interview, then I’ll hardly be rolling in cash, but it’ll be better than the part-time, no-benefits hell pit I’m currently stuck in. Much less when you’re so desperate for a full-time job that you can taste it, a job that will let you balance your schoolwork (to say nothing of your student loans) with something that pays the rent. It’s not every day you land an interview to be personal assistant to the city’s top lawyer, after all. I might, kind of, a little, be having a day like that. Some days have too much riding on them, you know? Days when you wake up and think, This is it. I couldn’t do it without you, my friend.įor Kate, who let me in on the secrets of House Hunters, and so much more. Thanks to the peerless Lee Winter, as always, for whipping my words into shape.
