"This is your office. A schedule of events will be in your email every morning. You are responsible for all interviews. You need to contact the first assistant in each department listed in the email and get details about anything important. Give your notes to the press secretary. She will make a final draft. When you are on an assignment with the president, you still need to handle your duties in the White House. Never turn off your phone. The President has let me know that you will taking classes at Georgetown. I expect to have a copy of your class schedule in my inbox no later than tomorrow afternoon."
"My schedule? I still need to register."
Angela threw her hands up. She didn't know what the president was thinking when he hired Olivia.
"Olivia you are clearly not qualified for this position. You have no office experience, and you are very incompetent. The President thinks you can be successful in the White House. He's giving you a chance to make something of yourself."
"I can handle the job Director Webster."
Olivia was ready to crack. She wasn't sure if she could handle the job and take classess. Being a cashier was menial work, but at least it was an easy job. Fitz wanted her to accomplish something that seemed impossible.
She slumped in her chair and looked out into the busy hallway. Men in suits and women in pencil skirts walked fast to their destinations. She had to start calling the various departments. Overwhelmed wasn't a strong enough word. The new semester started in a few weeks, and she still had to apply. She was almost sure, Fitz would do whatever was needed to get her enrolled in the university. The phone rang, and she looked around confused. Which button answered the call? She pressed each button until it stopped ringing. She panicked when she heard a dial tone. How could she do her job if she didn't even know how to answer an office phone?
