While I read the book quite awhile back, last night was the first oppurtunity I've had to see the movie The Devil Wears Prada. I remember being horrified by evil boss Miranda's needs when reading the book,so imagine my dismay when I realized that I was underwhelmed by her demands when watching the movie. Now I have a new perpective on demanding bosses. Let's take, for example, a typical workday with my new boss R. R. Taylor.
RR: Person! I will need my formula at 1:30, 4:30, 6:30 and 9:00 AM. Also 12, 3, 6, and 9 and possibly 11 PM. It must be tepid. Not hot and not cold! I will need to be burped each time as well. If not, I will scream until you walk me around the house for 1 hour. That is all.
RR: Person! Are you incompetent? I have wet myself and need to be changed immediately. That is all.
RR: Read to me! Hold the book higher, I cannot see the pictures unless they are 8 inches from my eyes.
RR: You are a great disappoitnment to me. I requested formula at 3 PM and it is now 3:05. Perhaps you never learned to tell time?
Andy got fabulous clothes and trips to Paris. My perks are not apparent yet, but hopefully will surface once I prove myself. I hear my boss might even smile at me one day and know my name. Imagine!

Yeah, Miranda never made Andy clean her feces, then promptly shat all over the place again. "Take that, underling!"
Oh, and have I mentioned? best. blog. ever.
Maybe when Ruby can use crayons, her first masterpiece will be memo informing you that she requires popsicles every fifteen minutes.
Hmmm, sounds an awful lot like my boss, except instead of formula, she demands to be nursed every 2 hours.
I love your blog, by the way. It is great! And, if I read one of your posts right, you actually said Ruby is sleeping through the night? My baby is still not and she is 4 1/2 months old! I'm jealous ... very tired and jealous
