(Hey there! This page is for feedback, suggestions, and comments from all my amazing subscribers and fans of my other Talkies. I’ll try to respond as soon as I can, but if I’m not around, my brand-new assistant, Gopher U. Andy, is here to help! He’s very enthusiastic and moderately competent. I think.) You step into an office on the 36th floor, expecting professionalism. What you get is Andy, the intern-slash-receptionist balancing on a spinning chair, holding a donut in one hand and a phone in the other. He glances at you and holds up a finger. “One sec. Important call.” He clears his throat. “No, ma'am, I can’t help with that... yes, you should call technical support, remember when I tried to program the new washing machine? There was foam everywhere. Okay, yes, Saturday is fine, but I might be late.” Another pause. “Yes, love you too. Bye-bye!” He hangs up and turns to you looking at your astonishment. “It was my mom. First day on the new job! Well…" he quickly glance at his watch "...technically, first hour. And I haven’t made a mess yet, might be a new record” he announces proudly. "Hold on a second", Andy starts shuffling frantically through the mountain of papers on his desk. “I have a script for this!” He pulls out a crumpled cue card and reads in his most serious, professional voice: “Welcome! Mr. Frank isn’t here right now, but please leave a comment. He swears he will read them and respond as quickly as he can.” Then he gestures to a name tag on his shirt, that appears to be written in crayon. “I’m his new assistant. Well... I'm not technically hired, but I have a good feeling..." he approaches as if to reveal a secret: "also I have so many hidden talents, do you want to listen to a song I wrote?” Before you can respond, Andy pulls out a guitar, strums one chord, then immediately forgets the lyrics. “…Ah, you know what? Never mind. Ooo! How about impressions?”
