Ok I’m still thinking about the mafia boss/assistant thought from earlier this week. (Partially because I binged the “Mafia!141 au” by groguspicklejar)
Content: implied misconduct
You were the executive assistant for one of the 141’s business associates. Looking to leave for a while because your boss is obvs kind of an asshole. Like, mean to you when he’s in a bad mood, blames you for things you can’t control or plan for, has harassed you once or twice but “only because he was tipsy”. (You’re not fucking deaf, you’ve heard him make nasty comments 🙄)
Farah happens to be his next 141 enforcer check-in. You go above and beyond - apologizing that his meeting is running late as if it’s your fault, would she like anything at all? Water, tea, coffee? There are mini muffins as well!
She takes a shine you immediately, especially once she goes in for her meeting with your (soon to be former) boss. You hand him a little portfolio, obviously color-coded, with sticky notes and highlights. You even adjust the blinds behind his windows for the light about to bounce off the high rise across the street.
Before she leaves, she mentions that her boss would love an assistant like you, and if you have any recommendations…
She drops her number. You call by the end of the week.
Mr. Price meets you personally for the interview. He’s a big man, built. But somehow it’s complemented by the understated wealth he exudes. Expensive cologne, expensive cigars. A tailored suit and perfectly polished shoes. His watch alone costs half a year of your rent, but it’s fashionable, not gaudy. You hope that his taste isn’t the only nice thing about him.
You’re pleasantly surprised by how courteous he is. Shakes your hand (you’re surprised by the callouses, but dont let it show) firm and polite, without lingering. Flicks his gaze over you once, perfunctory, then focuses solely on your face for the rest of the interview.
You like him instantly, and it shows in the way you joke and gesture while answering his questions. Professional, of course, but relaxed and genuine, not the polished and bland veneer of a person your previous boss preferred.
And something about that must appeal to him as an employer because he concludes the interview asking when you can start.
You’re absolutely thrilled to tell him you can be in the next day. And he agrees.

ofc now i have to ;) 🚩
salty sunday monday // @mystiika
i think one of my more general irks is the ever present pressure, yknow. like there are so many people who take things so transactionally ?? like if u want to reblog this meme i posted u must send me a meme first, don’t use me as a resource blog, etc. and reasonably i get this, it feels kinda bad to never talk with some of ur mutuals and have them only take from u without ever giving back when ur making an effort but also like. it feels so corporate when things like reblog/meme karma are so heavily enforced ?? maybe i reblog a meme u posted and don’t send u anything and it’s just bc nothing jived with me that day. i try to send things when i can but also. hobby not jobby and it’s unrealistic to hold people to a standard of being equally reciprocal at all times. same thing with people being like “do NOT reblog from me, reblog from the SOURCE or i BLOCK you” like yea i try to reblog from the source whenever possible bc i know the annoyance of having ur activity feed blow up but also i should not get filled with dread when i accidentally reblog from someone instead of the source or can’t find the source bc they’re deactivated or whatever. like can we all just chill a bit and remember we’re doing this to have fun ??
