Synopsis:

Misty Memory:  What do you do when you wake up in the morning in the
boss's bed with no memory of the night before? Gayle is too proud to beg Shane for an explanation and he won't reveal what really happened.

On her return to work she finds the entire office saw her get drunk and go home with the boss. But she only drinks in moderation, so what really happened?

Wyrd Fortune:  Jenna, a tarot card reader, is tricked by two reporters. She is horrified when her name and profession are called into disrepute in their magazine article. More worrying is her horoscopes in their magazine have an uncanny way of following the events of her life.


 


 

SRR GRADE: B
 

Misty Memory
Did we or didn't we?  is the question that is plaguing Gayle the morning she wakes up in her boss' bed wearing nothing but his designer t-shirt the night after the Company Party.  Gayle remembered drinking one glass of champagne and everything after that is a blank.  She asks her boss Shane if they slept together and he just smiles. They both agree that they should forget the previous night and start fresh.  Shane asks her out but she turns him down every time.  Over the next few weeks, her period is late and she is nauseous every morning.  Are her worst fears coming true? Did she sleep with her boss get pregnant?
 
Wyrd Fortune
Jenna worked at Wyrd Fortune as the tarot card reader Madam Jannisse.  Lucy and Leo come in to get a reading are disappointed by the reading Madam Jannise gives  them.  A few days after the reading, she sees the a photo of the Leo in her favorite magazine, Velvet.  Lucy and Leo were reporters and not even a couple!  Leo actually has the nerve to ask her out after she confronts him about his article.  Lucy on the other hand comes to thank Jenna for her great card reading.  The other women that work at Wyrd Fortune call a meeting to let Jenna know that they know she is not really happy reading the cards and she agrees.  While looking in the Help Wanted Section, Jenna comes across a mysterious job and decides to go for it.  The job is actually Lucy's old job as Horoscope columnist at Velvet.  Will working this close to Leo cause Jenna more stress than it's worth or will the fortunes she read before she took over the column come true?
 
Whiskey Shots - Volume 16 by Sue Perkins was a hilarious read.  Misty Memory let's you feel the stress that Gayle goes through wondering if she slept with her boss or not.  Wyrd Fortune makes you wonder if some things that are thought to be general occurrences are really exactly geared towards you.
