Year of the Chick: Beginnings (a short story)

There are two things that happen when you graduate university:

1: You realize you'll be working for the next forty years...a realization that requires alcohol

2. You start to wonder when you're supposed to fall in love

Somewhere in between all of that, you'll find: office friends, office dimwits, good days, bad days, and a Human Resources manager that's out to get you.

You also might find an attractive guy from an office transfer, and that's when things start to get complicated...

This short story is a prequel to "Year of the Chick," and it tells the tale of a semi-normal main character, before she became all crazy and obsessed with finding love to avoid arranged marriage (that's what "Year of the Chick" is all about).
