Flash Quiz! In a desperate attempt to cover her own ass, a hysterical employee starts questioning your management abilities on a basic level, accusing you of favoritism and making veiled threats about your chances if you don't do what she says. Do you:
A. Indulge the person until you can get her off the balcony, and then toss her under the nearest bus -- it's actually, truly, genuinely not about Toral, that's sorority bullshit. It's about the fact that your employee managed to "transform" a perfectly useful space into something resembling the bombed-out warehouse from the end of Mr. And Mrs. Smith and served old people horrible cookies and TETHNO cake.
B. Stick with your BFF no matter what -- depending on which side of the Zoloft coin is up today, Trump has a 50\% chance of being impressed by your loyalty.
C. Grab the whiner and the nearest beauty queen and head into the fray without thinking twice, knowing that there will be enough sparks and lost composure that you can crutch your way out the back with a bag of money before anybody notices you're gone.
D. Burn the fuckup whiner, but make it seem like the decision has nothing to do with covering your own ass and everything to do with your Superman-like commitment to Truth, Justice, and the American Way. With enough smoke and mirrors, and a few casual references to your magic Ankle, you just might stick your landing!
E. Set fire to everything in your path, strapping on some cleats and dancing across the heads of Trump, his Viceroys, anybody who looks at you funny. Fire random potshots into the crowd while cackling madly. Carry a switchblade and stare at people so intensely that they burst into tears, and steal their wallets while they're still whimpering.
