Plus, her "wow" moment is so appallingly, stunningly schlocky and meaningless that I find myself wondering if "professional writer" means, in this context, "public telephone sanitizer who dreams of being just like her hero, Barbara Cartland, someday." Because - gag.
Gag indeed! I felt the same way, and felt kind of mean for it at the time (I have to check all of my reactions to her a few times to make sure that I'm not just reacting on pure, unbridled, irrational envy), but I think that was one of those moments that passes the test.
And the good thing about the whole dealio is that I probably won't have to spend much time with her after this at all, except for one more big tutors' meeting, which is good, because I was totally on the verge of slapping her or, at the very least, giving her a dirty look (which is about as violent as I get).
