Over Excited Linda 2

Still shoopin’ da woop.

Linda! had been transferred from the main London branch of Glossop, Bracknell and Scourage to the Vale of Glamorgan branch after her wacky antics had almost lost them a prized client. As a prestigious law firm they had to be careful about their image, and so people who weren’t useless or actively malicious were just transferred to a back-office branch where they couldn’t cause too much trouble.

Linda! (who had added the exclamation point to give herself more excitement in life) had arrived with the firm straight after being fired in the first episode of the most recent series of The Apprentice, mainly due to her treating her fellow contestants like people as opposed to ruthlessly throwing them into the way of any blame that came in their direction. Naturally, Linda! had been the first one under the bus when the task had gone wrong.

The task had been relatively simple - all the contestants had had to do was to design and decorate a hotel room for a luxury boutique hotel. Linda! wasn’t even project manager, and yet somehow got blamed for the colour, style, furniture, carpet, pictures, bathroom fittings and lack of an ice bucket. Only the ice bucket had truly been down to Linda!’s incompetence.
