So what's next? Um, finger painting? Macaroni art?

Not like you,betty. You're a good girl!

No. No,don't do that. Look,amanda,i'm really glad that you're getting so comfortable living here these past couple of weeks, Really,i am,but i think it's time you and i have a talk about something that really has been bothering me.

Hold that thought,you guys. My assistant is texting me.

Is this about that $60 that you left out for anyone to take in your bottom drawer? It's time to let that go,betty. Amanda,you have this tendency to treat me like i'm your assistant. What? Give me an example. Well,for instance,you rang a bell to summon me. You're constantly asking me to take your calls,write down your messages. Oh,that reminds me. What time's my massage tomorrow? Oh,6:30. Amanda! No.

Look,i am an assistant all day long at work. I don't want to come home and be an assistant here,too. But you like your job. Yes,i do. It is a wonderful stepping stone. However,i don't think doing menial tasks for you is gonna help me get ahead in my career. Hey,betty,is it possible you're taking your career frustration out on me? I don't think of you as an assistant. I really don't.

I think of you as a roommate,and sometimes a maid. Would you grab me a coffee while you're up?

Of course there is.

That's not my job. Good morning,betty. Could i get a cup of coffee? Sure. That's my job. Nick pepper. What are you doing here? Oh,you know,just visiting the old haunts. I bet you've all been wondering what i've been doing since i left "mode.".

You left "mode"? Yeah,like two months ago,when alexis left? We really missed you. Anyway,crazy story. I get one job interview,and the next thing you know, I am deputy culture editor of the "new york review." Boo-yah! What? you're an editor?

I know. Can you believe it? Ah,isn't life funny? No,but seriously,how are you guys? Things going good? Oh,yeah,marc got engaged,but then he got dumped. It was sad. mandy. Hold that thought,you guys. My assistant is texting me. You have your own assistant?

Hey,nick,just out of curiosity,how did you manage to get that job? I mean,you weren't an assistant here for very long,and no offense, But you weren't really that good at your job either. Yeah,but i also graduated from y. E. T. I. Last year. Y. E. T. I. ? Young editors' training initiative. It started a couple of years ago,uber-selective. Nearly everyone from my class has gone on to become an editor. So what,there's,like,this magical school where assistants go to get turned into editors overnight?

One doesn't become a ninja overnight,betty. The hard part is getting in. You need a sponsor. You gotta present a whole magazine concept to a bunch of judges. But once you get inif you get in-boom. I got my brass ring,and i am running with it,baby. Talk to me. Nick pepper,deputy culture editor. Daniel,great news. You get to be my sponsor for y. E. T. I.

The young editors' training initiative. Great. Uh,what does a sponsor do? Just write a letter about how great i am. Try and keep it under a page if you can. Thanks,daniel. This means so much to me. Oh,gross. Look who's here. Wilhelmina,good morning. Look who's here. how are you? Very well,thank you.
