And you can be an agent of change.
Hey, this is Damon Manning.
I can't take your call right now, but please leave a message and I'll call you back.
Hey, Damon, it's me, Amy.
Wow, yeah.
So, um I just, uh I wanted to call and say hi.
I just, I just got back from Hawaii, and I've, I've been in treatment and stuff, it's been so awesome, and I feel amazing, and I just wanted to like, clear the air, because I'm going to Abaddonn today, and I'm gonna talk to them about maybe starting up work again, 'cause I just feel super sorry aboutabout what happened at the end there.
But it would be great to get to talk and, uh, put the past behind us.
My number's the same, okay? So I hope everything is well with you, really.
You know, your family and everything.
Okay? Call me? There you are.
Oh, it's okay, darling, yes.
Come on, beauty, come get your beautiful dinner.
Mom! Oh! What is it? What's wrong? You're gonna spill my coffee, Amy.
It's good to see you, Mom.
Why? Mom, the center was beautiful.
I mean, it was incredible.
I met all these amazing people.
Well, how long are you staying? Uh, just till I save up enough money to get a new place.
Oh.
It's so dark in here, Mom! You need to let in some light.
And when are you going to tell me what is going on? You know what, Mom? I can't talk, 'cause I'm going to Abaddonn.
I'm getting my job back! I'm gonna have a meeting with HR in half an hour, so I'm scrambling.
Amy, are you going to wear that to work? You look like a hippie.
Yeah! Okay.
Mom, I can't wait to tell you everything, I'm so excited to see you, and I'll be back in a few hours.
Okay.
Um I meditated on you, Mom.
And me.
Uh-huh.
I do that now.
I'll call you later.
Amy? They're ready for you.
The point is, that I put all this energy into my healing, and that same amount of energy I now have, like, built up to work.
I just want to work again.
I want my job back.
You know what I'm saying? I'm just Well, the problem is, the buyer position in Health and Beauty has been filled.
That's okay.
Cleaning Supplies is perfectly fine.
I wasn't okay with it then, but I actually really have a lot of ideas about Cleaning Supplies now.
The buyer job in that department has also been filled.
You know, Amy, in the last couple of months, we've had to lay off quite a few people in all departments.
The economy is what it is.
Okay, I got an idea.
Hmm.
This is gonna sound a little outside the box.
Clean Meds doesn't have a very good reputation.
I, I hate to say it, but we all know it's really shitty.
And, I really think I could help.
So, I could be like a community liaison, right? And help promote Abaddonn and Clean Meds, by helping them sponsor events and causes in Riverside, or like, wherever.
I mean really, it's good business, and it would be so good for morale, too.
I mean, can you imagine? Wouldn't you be happier working for a place that's, like, giving back to the world, instead of some corporate parasite that's raping the land, and people, and like, drugging America's kids? Are you asking us to create a position for you that doesn't exist? Well, I thought it would be cool.
Well, Amy, we're happy to see that you're doing better, and that you got the help that you needed.
But, unfortunately, we don't have a position to offer you at this time.
What? Perhaps in a few weeks, or months, things will change, but right now, there's no jobs.
I'm sorry.
Wow, this is weird.
Because, when I left in June, I'd seen a lawyer, and he said that there was no way you wouldn't give me my job back.
Right? 'Cause of some kid of pre-existing condition, depression, and if I went and got treatment, you would have to give me my job back, because otherwise there'd be grounds for a lawsuit, like wrongful termination or something, so now, I'm like, totally confused.
This is so exciting! I am just so thrilled! Yeah well, uh, come find me in the morning, and hopefully I'll have some answers.
Judy, you've been so great.
Thank you, thank you so much! Right.
Brad.
Great talking! Okay.
See you tomorrow? Bye.
See you.
Where's Tina? Uh, Tina doesn't work here anymore.
I'm Kevin, can I help you? Yeah, could you let Damon know that Amy Jellicoe just wanted to pop in and say hi? Sure.
I'm sorry.
Damon's in the middle of something.
Well, I can wait.
No, no.
He's tied up all day.
Well, can you give him a message for me? Let him know that I am starting work back tomorrow, and I would really like to talk to him as soon as he can.
I'll let him know.
Thank you, Kevin.
Have a great day.
Well, the one thing that you didn't know, and like, nobody else knows, this is like, so between us, but Damon and I were having an affair.
I knew that, yeah.
I think everyone knew.
Oh.
Welland, yeah, so that, and a lot of other stuff, you know, was happening with, like, my ex-husband and his addiction issues.
Yeah.
And it was just like it was a hard time.
Yeah.
But now, I've never felt better.
That's great! I mean, you look great.
Aw.
Well, anyway, enough about me.
What about you? I was worried that they were gonna like, take it out on you, 'cause you were my assistant.
Yeah, no, it was they were very I got a promotion, actually.
Good for you! Good for you.
But I guess the biggest news is that, um I'm five months pregnant.
Stand up right now and let me see that baby! Oh my god.
Oh my god, I'm so excited for you! This is so beautiful! Is Steve just freaking-out excited? He's freaking out, yeah.
And they're like, your eggs? Like, that worked out? Yeah, yeah, it was it's, they're my eggs.
That's so awesome! Oh my god, she's having a baby, it's her first baby! You're having a baby! Excuse me, Miss! Oh! Thank you so much! Thank you, I forgot my glasses, that was so sweet! Thank you! Have a great day! I'm nervous.
Ready? Mmm-hmm.
"Mother, "They have asked me to write a letter "to the person I have the most difficulty communicating with.
"It was not hard for me to decide who that person is.
" How long is this gonna take? You have somewhere to be? No.
I just want to know how long this is gonna take.
Uh, not long.
Um, I've just got to read you what's on these papers.
Well, I can read, honey.
But I'm supposed to read it to you, Mom.
That's the point.
Okay, Amy.

And I truly believe that we can change.
"And if we can change, "anything is possible.
"If we can change, the whole world can change for the better.
" I don't know what that means, honey.
Mom, can you just let me finish, and we'll talk after.
Is this what they asked you to do up there? One of the things, yeah.
And what medications did they give you? Mom, nothing.
I'm off my medications.
Well, why on earth? Mom, I don't want to talk about my medications.
