Is there a thesaurus in the house?

The sands of slothful existence have run through the hourglass, and Girl-E has now rejoined the glorious ranks of working stiffdom. While she is destined to spend the first few weeks bleary-eyed and stupid until at least 10:30, there are a few perks. For example, the Green Mountain coffee machine is many cuts above any other free office coffee service she has ever consumed. And, unlike previous cattle-car workspaces, she has her very own office with a big window overlooking the most pastoral of academic courtyards.

She is also, for the first time in her life, being paid to write. The catch is that what she is being paid to write scares the mother-loving crap out of her. She was hoping maybe she was being hired to write skits or daily horoscopes, but no such luck. In fact, she has about a day and a half to write a 10-minute speech for an important person to give to an entire student body on Monday. Doh. In fact, maybe she should get to that right about now. Alright now, let's see, ahem... "Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself..."
