A grumpy young woman

Dr. Drake walked into his waiting area and saw a young brunette who did not look happy to be there.

He picked up her file from the receptionist. "Mara Lewis?"

"Yeah, that's me."

"Come in." Dr. Drake opened his door for Mara. She brushed past him and plopped on his couch. He sat at his desk. "Tell me why you're here."

"Anger fucking management."

"Ah, and who sent you?"

"My boss."

"Give me some background."

"I graduated high school at 17, graduated with a double major in accounting and finance at 21...summa cum laude, and earned my MBA at 23. I got a job at Leeland & Morris. Heard of them?"

"The financial firm?"

"Yes, the largest investment and financial advisory firm in town. I'm very good at my job. My investments have earned my clients a pretty penny."

"But..."

"But I work with too many idiots and old foagies."

"And this makes you angry?"

"Of course. I'm constantly being asked stupid questions, asked to give free advice to my co-workers about how they should their jobs, and I should have been promoted by now." Mara looked at her fingernails. "Anyway, my idiot boss sent me here and told me if I can't find ways to be 'more pleasant' I'll be fired, and being fired will _not _look good on my resume."

"What do you want from me?"

"Make up some phony baloney plan for me to give to my boss, and I'll try to be more tolerant of idiots."

Dr. Drake smiled and nodded. "Oh, I have a better idea."
