Shorty Street this week

This week “Meryl” blessed us with her presence, having been hired as the new admin assistant.

Remember Meryl from the animal shelter? The employee who spent the whole time filing her nails while Drew was frantically looking for Chops?

I can only imagine what her references looked like. “Very hardworking. She can type with two fingers. 10 words a minute!” Rajiv has really outdone himself since becoming CEO.

Ew, I actually have to touch this keyboard?

She had some great lines though. “Bye Felicia.” “I get that you’re not well. This is a hospital. I’m not stupid.” “Yes, this is Shortland Street. Insert Maori greeting here. Can you call back please? I’m new.”

In other news, Rangimarie decided to have sex with Ezra, but then was caught by her mother.

Then she decided that her ‘lying’ mother was so unbearable that she had to run away and get into a car with some random guy she met in a carpark.

She found out that he was on the run and was all “oh, so you murdered someone? I’ll cover for you!” There are a lot of idiots in the show these days.

I’m loving Te Rongopai’s sister, though.

“No wonder she went there, hot off the press!” “Just because you got married a virgin, touched for the first time. Where is Madonna when you need her?”

Apparently I’m not the only one who hated Pita. What an awful guy. Yeah, blackmailing your ex-wife into breaking up with her new lover was really going to get her to forgive you for cheating on her.
