deputy deputy
What would your dream occupation be?
"Is everybody in? Yes? Okay. Welcome to the White House. My name is Donnatella Moss, I work here in the West Wing as an assistant to Deputy Chief of Staff Joshua Lyman. Which, I guess, makes me Deputy Deputy Chief of Staff."
Her customary joke manages to draw a few obliging chuckles out of this group, but most of them roll their eyes or show blank expressions, staring impatiently through her to the door behind, beyond which they'll meet the leader of the free world, the one they've really all come to see today.
So, none of them are really paying much attention to the words of this young aide before them. If anyone remembers her by the end of the day, she expects it'll just be as the girl-with-the-turtle's-name.
Donna realises this, but she tells them anyway, sometimes just to hear it for herself.

Even saying so brings a new rush of excitement each time, and she knows that this is where she wants to be.
"Okay. We're going to head across to the Oval Office now, if you'll follow me..."
