A new employee was being introduced around the building today. My boss and her boss escorted her into my cubicle to introduce us.

My boss said something about how I lead the editorial team, and I'm the one who gets tough with freelancers. Her boss said cheerfully, "Molly's a slasher!"

My first thought was, How does he know that? -- until I realized he meant I slash words from copy.

And then I breathed again.
