"They do this with every new employee to assess their abilities. There’s no better way to see a person’s pros and cons than throwing them in the deep end." Tom’s ‘matter-of-fact’ opinion was met by raised eyebrows on Alice’s part. After meeting a few of her new co-workers, including Tom, Alice had begun to think that maybe she had the wrong impression of her new workplace, but once more she had been reassured that she had, in fact, managed to slip into the fiery depths of hell.
"They really don’t bullshit here, do they?" Alice asked, causing Tom to chuckle in a knowingly way. "I just can’t understand why everyone stays here."
"Good pay, mostly nice people, a good start in the journalist industry… there’s just a few," Tom said, ticking away his options on his fingers as he rocked back and forth on Alice’s desk chair which he had so comfortably stolen seconds after meeting Alice. Alice herself was perched on top of her desk, laptop hoisted on her knees as she scanned through the files she had been sent containing the information about her trip. "But mostly it’s just that people here can’t be bothered to find another job. We’re all just too lazy."
"I’m afraid I’m going to be falling into that category pretty soon," Alice muttered with a sly smile, causing Tom to laugh once again. She turned back to her laptop and a comfortable silence filled the air for a few minutes before she spoke again. "Well at least I’m not being thrown into the deep end on my own. It says here someone’s coming with me to show me how things are run."
"Oh really? Who would that be?"
"Dana Fairbanks," Alice read off the file, looking up at Tom to see his reaction. He nodded thoughtfully before tuning off again. "Well, do you know her?"
"Dana? Oh yeah. She’s a friend of mine, worked here for a few years," Tom informed her. Alice continued to look at him expectantly for a little more information and when none came, she sighed before speaking up once more.
"And? Is she nice? Will I enjoy her company on this trip or learn to hate her as much as I am learning to hate this place?"

I love this fic. It’s something different and I’m really enjoying it. I think Dana has some big time apologizing to do. Update soon. I can’t wait for more.
tom’s a dick. But then again, dana is silly too for believing him in the first place instead of just building her first impression by herself…she wasn’t nice to Alice. Can’t wait for more! :)
Ok I love this but boy do they have a pile to dig out of…but of course all that anger makes the hook up that much better ;) Can’t wait till the next installment. Also good luck with Soul Singing…you know that’s like my favorite Danish fic :) Please post soon!!!
Awww…oi, this is another one of my fav. fic’s I can’t wait for Soul Singing, but this is just as good. I like it that they have to work at just trying to get to know each other, these are the best fic’s for me at least. Can’t wait for the next chap…and Alice is bloody hilarious…cheers mate.
Dana is going to feel like such a loser when she learns the truth. I loved Alice throwing Dana’s stuff out of the window. She such a genius! ;-)
Ahh bojangles glad to see your back. I’m loving how this story is heading. LOL i loved how alice made dana stop for directions by throwing her stuff out the window! totally alice. I hope Dana lightens up soon, i’m sure she will. Bojangles, please don’t stop writing this story..i love it, and there are so many directions it can go in, just take your time.
It doesn’t sound like real fun working at Allan, Lekman & Co. ;) Dana, go on your first impressions…and not by coments other people made. Hopefully Dana will have the opportunity to see Alice in a whole other ligt in the near future… :P
Oh I do love this. That has now become a fact. Dana’s a bitchy little thing in this fic isn’t she? Let’s hope Alice can fix that =DLoved it. Can’t wait for the update.
Love the new never seen dynamic between the girls. They fight like they are best friends already. Good to know ahead of time that they are meant to be together. Keep it up, love your story.
