I sat at my desk, staring at a screen full of things that absolutely required my attention. Calendar blocks color-coded by priority, internal memos flagged for Nala's approval, a procurement request waiting for my signature before it could move up the chain, and a half-finished summary report I was supposed to send to legal before lunch. Being the CEO's secretary wasn't glamorous. It meant filtering calls, drafting replies in her voice, organizing meetings she didn't have the patience for, and making sure half the building didn't collapse under its own bureaucracy.
I wasn't doing any of that particularly well today.
