WCDT Strips 3606 to 3610 (6th - 10th November 2017)

Well to be fair, she's only heard this new person's name from 2 people so far, so there's still a 50-50 chance it's actually Taffy :-D
Joking aside, I don't see Tilly as that bad so far, she hasn't been asked to leave, and it feels like she thinks she's currently just negotiating for her job (like, it seems to her that this is Hannelore's way of saying "prove to me why I would need you", which I imagine is just the kind of hostile environment that her Mum's company would have where she would constantly need to prove her worth). I'm sure that if Hanners told her "I want you to leave" she would.
Not saying that she's not invading her space here, but just imagine the kind of hoops she has been made to jump through for years in order to qualify for the job of PA to the CEO's daughter (especially this particular CEO). Just my 2 cents :-)
BenRG:
FWIW, I think I know how next week will go now.
Tilly, realising that there literally is not any work for her to do for Hannelore breaks down. Maybe there is a funny panel where Hannelore has to take her bravery in both hands and put an arm around her shoulder to lead her to the couch. Tilly explains the whole deal: Beatrice made it abundantly clear that she wanted Hannelore to have a PA and that Tilly was expected to make it happen, no matter what the cost. Failure would mean dismissal and Beatrice made it clear she would use her influence to see to it Tilly will be hard-pressed to get work tossing burgers in an unlicensed diner.
Feeling guilty, Hannelore decides to help her out. Even if they could fake just a week of Tilly 'working' for her, doing enough stuff to put in the status reports that she has to send to Beatrice daily, then she could probably spin her eventual 'dismissal' in a positive way. There follows an impromptu Congress of Main Characters in Marten and Faye's lounge. The preview picture from Jeph's Twitter feed that I posted earlier this week is Tilly responding to the 'to do' list that they'd put together.
Tilly should really have read the job list. There is nothing 'routine' about the main cast's idea of 'busy work'.

Okay, new theory. She has a photographic memory, but her aural memory is terrible. :lol:
TinPenguin:
Tilly is like a pet dog that is desperate to help but just keeps getting under your feet.

John's not even sure about John: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2118
