Lou and I've been meeting with possible Press Secretary Candiates all morning. Lester and Edie are both options but there are other places in the administration where we can use them, so we haven't made a final determination. Lou also needs to figure out what she's going to do with Otto. I smirk a little. I don't envy her there. I'm not sure he's entirely qualified to be either her deputy or the DPS but he is devoted to her and there is something to be said for that.
"Do we have time for lunch before our next one?" I ask Lou. We are actually running quite a bit behind but I'm starving.
"Ugh. Not really but let me see what I can do about that." She opens my door and screams-
"OTTO!"
He pops right up and jogs up to her. Like I said, devoted. Reminds me of someone I used to know.
"Yeah?"
"We need sustenance. Be a good boy and run over to the mess." Boy. I hope I never talked to Donna like that. I hope if I did, she smacked me. I might have to have a little chat with Lou about this.
"I'll have a Cobb Salad. Josh? What about you?"
"Burger extra well-done and fries. Make sure its cooked all the way."
Otto trots off to do Lou's bidding before I remember to thank him. Oops. I'll try to remember when he gets back. I get up and walk to the door to stretch my back. Donna's desk is empty but her flowers are there. I grin to myself and walk over to see them.
"They're gorgeous." Annabeth tells me.
"It's our anniversary."
Annabeth smiles at me
"Come on, Lyman. Stop mooning over the flowers." Lou barks at me.
Alright. Back to the grind. I hope that food gets here soon. And I hope the burger is done.
