It seems everyone has advice on how to get there:
Eve (on keeping her "foot in the door"): "Develop artificial cheeriness. Answer all requests with 'great.'
Hypothetical: Person of dubious authority: 'Eve, why don't you count all of the paper clips in the entire department and then divide them into seven equal piles?' Me: 'Great. I'll get right on it. That'll be great.'"
Tabitha (prefers foreign men, gets entree to the coolest parties, buys lots of underwear): "Remove unsightly hairs before all dates."
Roseanne (Eve's roommate who works in—gasp!—finance): "Whatever you do, don't be predictable."
