She Came In As An Overdog

She was supposed to be the office underdog. She had less experience than the rest of us. Less credentials than the mail opener. No one told her she was not supposed to come in acting like the overdog. She strutted, bragged, barked, demanded. Correcting the rest of us. Showing off knowledge that was minimal. She did not last the week.
