"  Meg, Brad, Tex and I went out for drinks after work today. It was eye-opening, to say the least.  Meg had some news. A research job had opened up on Tex and Brad&amp;#039;s show, and she&amp;#039;s interviewing for it. I felt a pang of jealousy as I thought about the three of them working together without me. Even though I like my job (especially with Jack gone) and consider Janelle and Shannon friends, it&amp;#039;s not the same as it was when I worked with my pals.  &amp;quot;You really want to give up the assignment desk?&amp;quot; I asked her.  &amp;quot;Yes and no,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I totally hate where I am right now, but I do like doing what I do. I figure if I do this for awhile, it will diversify my resume a bit and give me some more options.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;Plus we want you working with us every day,&amp;quot; Tex said, nudging her. It was uncharacteristically sweet. Brad stared off into the distance, looking vaguely annoyed.  Tex asked what had happened to Jack, and I didn&amp;#039;t have any answers for them. I don&amp;#039;t know if he quit, or was fired, or what. If I don&amp;#039;t hear anything next week, I&amp;#039;m going to check in with Jeanine and see what happened, and what the next steps are.  &amp;quot;Want me and Brad to rough him up?&amp;quot; he asked. &amp;quot;The offer still stands.&amp;quot;  Brad rolled his eyes, but no one noticed it but me. He didn&amp;#039;t notice that I had noticed, either, and I watched as he straightened up, took a deep breath and plastered a fake smile on his face.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been looking for a superhero sidekick,&amp;quot; he said.  &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re the sidekick, buddy,&amp;quot; Tex said.   Again, Brad&amp;#039;s expression soured, and I wondered what the heck was going on.  Meg and Tex went to get a round of drinks then, and as they walked away, Tex put his arm around her waist. She reached up on her tiptoes to kiss him. I had to admit, it was pretty adorable.  I wasn&amp;#039;t the only one watching Meg and Tex. I watched Brad watch them, and suddenly recognized his pained expression. It was the same one I used to give him and Mikhaila.  &amp;quot;Oh my God,&amp;quot; I blurted out. &amp;quot;You are totally in love with Meg!&amp;quot;  Brad turned to look at me, and I could tell by his expression that I was right. How had I not noticed before?  &amp;quot;I am not,&amp;quot; he lied, but he dropped his eyes, defeated.  &amp;quot;Why didn&amp;#039;t you tell her? She would be so much better off with you.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;I was going to,&amp;quot; he said, still not looking up. &amp;quot;I waited too long.&amp;quot;  Meg and Tex came back with drinks after that, and Brad did his best to pretend it was just like any other Friday happy hour. I feel so bad for him. It&amp;#039;s going to be even worse if Meg gets the job, and they all work together every day. Hm, maybe I could get Brad Jack&amp;#039;s old gig? He doesn&amp;#039;t have as much experience as Jack did, but he&amp;#039;s not a creepy weirdo, either. I&amp;#039;ll run it by Katrina and see what she thinks\u2026 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
