Louisa is a professional server working at the Grey Duck, a local watering hole. Through a series of comedic and unfortunate events, including bar fights, plugged toilets, looking for new love, a stalking ex-boyfriend, groping customers, and a chicken wing incident, Lou is ready to hang up the apron. It’s time for a job change—a life change!

She lands a day job at small marketing firm, unfortunately through the help of her stalking ex-boyfriend. Immediately, Lou struggles with the structure that the stereotypical 9 to 5 “stable job” is built around: 

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT 
STARING AT MY SCREEN 
SURFING THE WEB 
TRYING NOT TO BE SEEN 

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT 
SPACING OUT FOR HOURS ON END 
COUNTING THE HOURS—MINUTES 
THE WORK AT BEST A BLAND BLEND 

SEE, I’M DOING GREAT, GREAT, GREAT 
IN MY FORTY HOUR A WEEK HEAVEN 
I’M TRULY, HONESTLY HAPPY 
PLEASE JUST BUY WHAT I’M SELLING

Ms. Kuhl, Lou’s boss, tries to “help” Lou conform to her office standards. This help involves passive-aggressive and sociopathic behavior, leaving Lou even more confused about her future and deeply concerned that her boss is crazy. Ms. Kuhl is not willing to give up on Louisa so easily. 

The gauntlet has been thrown. The fight has begun. Will Lou’s integrity, creativity, and poor fashion sense survive? Or will Ms. Kuhl crush another soul into her structured submission?
