Alice Carver Manifests Her Perfect Life

Date Tuesday 31 January Time 3.15pm

My thoughts and reflections:

Guy Carmichael has just emailed asking me if I want drink after work.

Yes, I do. Guy’s wearing a charcoal suit with a pale pinstripe that makes him look particularly masterful today.

Anika in PR (never remembers my name and makes it clear she’s not going to) had a meeting with him in his office and we could hear her laughing flirtatiously; everyone knows she has a crush on Guy.

Shame I can’t mention that I’ve acquired a second date in under a week.

Bet she’d remember my name then. Still. Good work, Alice.

In one word:

Congratulations
