Tale of Two Assistants (Usual long time lurker, first time poster ramble) I work as an assistant to a CEO. She also has a second assistant, but this one acts more like a secretary, answering emails and phone calls, etc. This assistant is at 5'5" and weighs around 300. I do not know why she was not fired yet. She does her job but barely squeezes (teehee) by.  Yesterday, my boss was going to a charity event we were going to. The three of us were talking. Assistant: Ree, I am soooooo hungryyyy. What time is the -snort- event? Boss: -raising her eyebrows- 8. Assistant: That's in three hours! I'm gonna get a McDonald's combo! Boss: Didn't you express to me you wanted to lose weight? Assistant: It's haaaaaaaard. -walks out- It isn't like we are located in a town where McDonald's is the only option. I work in a major city with a slew of healthy options. Fatties confuse me.
