Maja Writes… How Did I Get Here?

New Friday, new placement. Not sure why I’m here. They said “publishing company,” but everyone looks tired. One man with expensive hair and a purple notebook keeps following me. He talks about “creative ecosystems” and “brand identity.” I think he is the boss’s nephew. I try not to make eye contact. Uncle Novak used to have that song ‘Once in a LifeTime’ by someone called the Hawking Teds on repeat play where the singer repetitively sings, “Well, how did I get here?” And I now know why. Thanks God it’s the weekend soon.
