Thankyou for the compliment, but I'm not sure I'd agree. I think I just posted my plot with more annoying detail than everyone else lol Writing (ironically) isn't what I know (I'm just a dabbler) so not sure whether I'll use that, but I do know about mundane office work! You pretty much described my day (except we actually are the IT department lol). It sounds right though, giving her something pretty boring that she wants to escape from. I think she should be happy in her work though, so content to stay in that job. Perhaps it's not glamorous but if there's pretty reasonable pay and she's not really looking for much more. I don't want her to seem like she's waiting for The Ex to make her life complete or "better" in some way, you know?
