And I was so looking forward to being able to fix the jukebox by hitting it.

[...tilts the fedora. THERE HAS TO BE AN ANGLE TO WEAR THIS, RIGHT.]

[sqpeg_roundhole]

I think that would break it, not fix it.

[Almost got it... There! Now you are properly 50s attired.]

[tobethemiracle]

Yeah, I don't think that stuff works outside of TV shows.

[sqpeg_roundhole]

I don't watch much television. Well, except for advertising, but that's for work.

[tobethemiracle]

You work with television? That's pretty cool.

[sqpeg_roundhole]

Sometimes. I do a mix of print, radio and television advertising. But, that was back at home...

[tobethemiracle]

Why can't you do it here? Is it the lack of equipment?

[sqpeg_roundhole]

There's not much to advertise. But, my boss arrived here a little while ago, so that will probably change.

[tobethemiracle]

You're in advertising? That's - wow.

[a cute boy thinks what she does is interesting, A+]

It's pretty interesting!

[tobethemiracle]

So how'd you get into that?

[sqpeg_roundhole]

By accident!

I was working as a secretary at an advertising firm in Manhattan. One day they asked the typing pool to participate in product research, and the head copywriter liked my ideas and offered to let me do some writing for an ad.

Before I came here, I was promoted to a copywriter position.

[tobethemiracle]

And you're from the 60s? That's ... I didn't think that happened often.

The first woman at Sterling-Cooper to work in creative since the war.

Anyway. I'm Ronan. Nice to meet you, Ms ...?
