Ever get hit with a plot twist that feels like a punch to the gut? Mine came wrapped in the all-too-familiar smirk of Jack Thompson. Yup, the same Jack who, back in college, broke my heart and ruined my chances at a life-changing internship. Now, as fate (or just bad HR recruiting) would have it, we're co-workers.
