---- | said back off to the preppy schools, and Harvard medical that was glaring me in the face, and | decided to pursue my own joy. Thankfully | have a father who backs his kids above all else, or my mom would've guilted me into doing some thing that would've made me miserable for the rest of my days. ak Now it's Monday, and Jared is supposed to be bringing this chick by any minute for a meet. | still wasn't sure about this, but Jared's a friend, so what can you do? | heard his hog pull up outside and got up to go out there, because no one entered the inner sanctum unless they were part of the crew. Jared was walking ahead of...something. His face broke out in a sappy grin when he saw me. "Colton, this is Katarina." ---- | watched her disinterestedly as he made the introductions, and before extending my hand for her to shake.

"So Jared tells me you're interested in the job." "Yes sir" "I'm up here, Katarina, look, if you want to work around here you're going to have to do better than this. These guys are rough customers, and some of the people we build for are even worse. Not to mention the people you have to deal with on the phone, so you're gonna need to up your game." | saw Jared give her a nudge before she picked her head up and looked at me. "Can you handle that?"
