I had been out of work for a couple of months and was starting to feel a bit desperate. Finally, I was called back for a second interview for a position as an administrative assistant. It was definitely a step down the career ladder; however, I was a point at which I could not be choosy. I had interviewed with the human resource manager, a nondescript youn...
While I was on an overseas assignment, work brought me back to California every few months. I used these opportunities to catch up with old friends. Patrick and Shana were close friends who I made sure to see during each trip. We had spent a lot of good time together – camping trips, evenings out, movies ... I had always been very attracted to Shana, but she...
Looking at a photo of this man in his combat gear, holding a machine gun with a cigarette hanging out the side of his mouth. Tall, dark hair, warm brown eyes, with a smile so charming it would make any woman melt. I met Jeremy during a trip I made to the Petawawa Army Base when I was dating CM. CM was having a going away party at the junior mess hall as he w...
She was desperate to get her taxes done. It was Sunday, April 15, 2007 and she was not going to make it. She'd called H&R Block and all those tax preparation places but they wanted too much money. She'd picked up the forms from the library but they made no sense to her... Taxes, after all, were like that. She had investigated every possible avenue she could...
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction concocted entirely within my imagination. Any resemblance to real people shouldn't be surprising since most of my stories are based on people I know. While I hope you enjoy this story and are compelled to provide feedback, I don't expect the subject matter will appeal to everyone who reads it. As such, I discourage venom...
He was brash, arrogant, and irritating, but god was he sexy. The new intern had been with us only a few weeks, but already had quite a reputation among the ladies and a healthy following at the girl’s water cooler-sewing circle-gossip sessions. Rumors were already flying about him sneaking into a closet with the other interns and even going above and beyon...
If you are a frequent flyer on long haul flights like me, it does tend to become a drag. I was booked on such a flight again, 9 hours of sitting amongst a bunch strangers, with nothing better to do but watch boring movies or trying to sleep in the most uncomfortable chairs designed by man. As usual this was a night flight. I was doing my usual before the fl...
As luck would have it, I got hired for a TV show that has been a success. Who would have guessed that a television show about attic junk would draw a big audience? I had worked as a make up and hair style artist for all sorts of small jobs on local TV and for community theater, but only as a part time job. Then I got the call to help with this new program....
I'm a normal, busy, even conservative minded married woman. I don't know what got into me. It was after work and I'd gone with some of the other people from the office for a couple of celebratory drinks. It was a mixed group from several offices in the company and, outside my own small group, I rarely saw most of the other people. Maybe I got a little more...
Doug sat on the bar stool, his dark brown eyes watching the people moving on the dance floor. He held a rum and coke in his right hand and a pool cue rested lazily in his left hand, leaned back against his left shoulder. He spotted the blonde woman again and kept his eyes on her as she grooved and gyrated to the thumping bass of the music pouring out of the...
