So when I was growing up, I always wanted to be a screenwriter.

Like I had dreams of this. I went to performing arts school, did playwriting.

And I always say, like, I went on and went to college and did corporate and it just kind of

like drifted away. And I don't know why I never did it like, I went on and went to college and did corporate and it just kind of like drifted away.

And I don't know why I never did it.

But I think I do know.

Do tell.

So when I graduated college, the summer after college, I had a job.

So I was working in Louisville at a large law firm.

A friend's mom was a partner and got me a job as an HR intern.

So I learned the ins and outs of HR, which in decent part had to do with making a binder

for the HR director of potential itineraries I had for her for her birthday trip that was coming up.

Oh my gosh. And I think it was one of those things where she

was like, oh, if you have any time, like any, you know, ideas on like a girl's trip. And of course, I'd take it on as a mission. So I remember printing, I'm like taking up, I'm sure someone had a really important deadline. But I needed to print out a bunch of orbits, potential itineraries and like options and things and I put them in a binder. But while I was there, even though I worked

with NHR, I got to know some of the lawyers in particular. I was going to go to law school or intended to go to law school. So there was this one lawyer that I like totally had this like, you know, kind of crush on. And it sounds kind of funny because I was like 22. I wasn't like, you know, 15 or 16, but I kind of acted like it. Because I had this in my mind, but of course I let it slip because I can't keep things to myself. So I told this woman working in HR who was not my boss but was like working there. I was like, oh, I kind of like him. So she's like, oh, you should tell him how you feel about it. Like a senior HR person? Like encouraging you to...

Too more senior than should have told me that as a 22-year-old, year-old intern. So I was like,

you think so? And so we had like an outing one day. It was like the whole firm outing. And

they invited everybody, which was nice, like not just lawyers, but so we're there. And so this person, I don't know if she'd had a little bit to drink, but she walks by, and I happen to be sitting and talking to this guy. She, like, points to the two of us and was like, ooh, this. But so this, we have what I'm sure he would describe as a friendship, like, oh, like friendship, you know, things. So one day I'm

talking to him and I'm like, yeah, I want to go to law school, but I also really want to be a screenwriter. And he's like, oh, that's cool. Like, have you ever written anything? I'm like, yeah. He's like, I'll read it. I'm like, okay. So instead of having anything, which I did have things I'd read, I thought this was my moment. So your girl

went home that night and wrote about 10 pages of a screenplay. That was not even coded. I mean,

I did not use real names, but it was 100% basically a screenplay clearly going to be about

office romance. Oh, my God.. Oh my God. I'm embarrassed.
