A/N: This is totally unbeta'd and is mostly just a little bit of fun as a tribute to several books which riff off today's world of digital communication. At least one thing in here is just a little implausible but reality should never stand in the way of sarcasm.

Apologies for the way email addresses come across. Such is the limitation of technology on this site.

Alas. One day this site will enter the 21st century.

Is it really de trop that I emailed everyone I know? I can't believe that it's my first day here. At the New York Times! I've dreamt about it since I was 10 but somehow reality is so much times better.

Well, clearly a sign of their utter desperation. What next, employing the homeless? Oh wait, with your fashion sense they may as well be.

PS. I didn't need to read this twice, you bloody cow.

Hey Em!

Is it too much to ask that Miranda answers my emails herself?


From: MPriestly at Runway dot com

To: ASachs at NYTimes dot com

She is in a meeting. And even if she wasn't, she's better things to do. Like bang her head against the wall for 15 minutes instead. Although I distinctly remember experiencing exactly the same effects every time you opened your bloody gob.

Language, Emily. I'll expect a Starbucks on my desk the minute this abominable meeting ends. As you have time to chit chat to Andrea, I shall assume I won't be further swamped by a deluge of your incompetence?

Andrea, I am in a meeting.

I'm really sorry, Miranda. We need to reschedule the Michael Kors shoot. One of the male models has food poisoning, bad prawns or something. Though only a total idiot would eat the week they're doing a cover. We can move the shoot to Thursday; reschedule Donatella and James Holt to Friday. It means pushing out dinner with Size 8 to 21:00.

People still EAT? How very 60s of them. Can't do dinner at 9 as I am stuck doing the graveyard shift.

PS. I see you hit Reply All again, Em. Although I am thoroughly enjoying the James Bondness of it all, I'm still a 4.

Emily, when I want an essay on why your writing will never feature in Runway, I'll ask for it.

Andrea, I'll expect you there.

FishandChips: Bloody bollocks! Copied in that fat cow on an email to Miranda!

RioGirl: Which one?

FishandChips: Angelina Jolie! Who the bloody hell do you think?

Miranda, no can do. It's my first late shift and I am not going to blow it.

A different first shift comes to mind. I don't recall similar reservations.

Miranda just alluded to… I can't even write it.

BRB.

Going to find bleach so I can make myself vomit repeatedly until both the cube of cheese and that filthy image leaves my head.

What does she see in HER? I'm going to research midlife crisis.

Em, I'm pretty sure you meant to send this to Serena.


FishandChips: Fuckety Fuck!

RioGirl: |Again? *sigh* You can always stay at home and make those frog things I like.

FishandChips: Toad in the Hole?

RioGirl: That name still makes no sense.

FishandChips: Don't start.

I assumed that having left Runway you'd be up a size. At least. I've seen the Dunkin Donuts box delivered to your office. And let's be honest, your hips and sugar are like magnets.

Ever heard of repelling magnets?

Did we enter a temporal rift? That is the only answer to that inane question. I am Miranda Priestly. One doesn't wink at me unless they'd like to live out their remaining years on a research station in the North Pole.

PuppyEyes: Oh my God! I just sent an age joke to Miranda!

DougMuffin: Nice knowing you.

SohoArtist: Girlfriend, she must've grown a sense of humour… since she's dating you. *badoom boosh*

PuppyEyes: Miranda?

DougMuffin: Miranda?

PuppyEyes: Jinx. You owe me a coke.

DougMuffin: After that howler you made, I'll even throw in vodka free of charge.

SohoArtist: Usual place tonight?

PuppyEyes: If I am still alive. If not, tell my parents I love them. Oh and rescue the geranium.

SohoArtist: You bought a plant?

PuppyEyes: Three days ago.

DougMuffin: Okay, scratching plant rescue from list.

Your apology borders on sufficient, if not efficient... as I am now behind on the layout and consequently will be forced to miss a meeting with Irv. The latteris the only reason that I'll entertain your company this evening.

You know I have a key, right? Love you too. *kiss*

FishandChips: I just found underwear…

RioGirl: So?

FishandChips: In Miranda's office…

RioGirl: Why were you in Miranda's office?

FishandChips: Trust you to focus on the least important point.

RioGirl: What is the point? They are probably from the La Perla spread.

FishandChips: They're a size 4.

RioGirl: Well, at least she's figured out the key to keeping Miranda happy.

FishandChips: Credit card details. ASAP. Does hydrochloric acid come in bulk?
