Exactly. There's another story in the book where I talk about the same thing. Like I got fired from this temp job because I was temping when I came out here to try to make ends meet. I can't do any sort of office admin. I can't even transfer a phone call. I am a Luddite through and through.
And I was temping and this guy called down to the front desk and was like, who the fuck is that bimbo at the front desk? Let's get rid of her. I'm like, that would be me.

I was like, I'm her. And you're absolutely right. I shouldn't be here. This is not my forte. I'm not going to ever work in an office. I am never going to succeed at this. And I also wanted to go to Starbucks and get a Frappuccino. I couldn't wait to get fucking fired. And there was one at the bottom of the building. On that day where that guy talked to me in that way.

I was in such a state of hopefulness and optimism about the future, even though I was in my early 20s and I was broke and I had nothing going on career wise. I was just kind of hustling, trying to get by and figuring out what my in was going to be into the entertainment industry. I didn't know what I was going to do, but I had some ideas. And I remember leaving that day being like, he's right.

I don't belong here. And this is just more of an affirmation. I'm headed in the right direction. I can cross this off my list. That was another example. If he had called Caught me two days earlier where I wasn't feeling optimistic, where I wasn't feeling hopeful, where I was unsure of myself. I could have left that office in tears and been like, I'm worthless. I'm useless.

The mercurial nature of us as human beings on the days where we don't feel strong and sure of ourselves and confident. Those are the times to remind ourselves that this is a moment and that that strength and that confidence and that self-assuredness is just around the corner and probably going to reappear very shortly.

I blame Katie Couric for that. And Katie Couric's version of the story, which is so funny. We were at some dinner in New York. Katie was like, come with me to this dinner. And this was probably 15, 20 years ago to probably longer. I don't know. So we go and there's all these men at this table and I don't know anyone.

And then there's two seats across from me and we're waiting and I'm on the end of the table and I'm waiting to see, not waiting to see who's going to be there, but just those were the two empty seats. And I see Woody Allen and Soon-Yi walk in and I'm like, no. I'm not going to do that.
