if i could be anyone else, i'd be ...

jordan mcdeere, network exec, sarcasm extraordinaire. if only this show had come along sooner in my life, i might be running a network now. had i known my original plan of film school, law school, something entertainment related would have worked out, who knows.

jordan is smart, funny, charming and willing to go head to head with her male counterparts. she has an uncanny ability to piss someone off while still maintaining their respect. a beau once told me my super power was vicious sarcasm, i'm not sure i pull it off as classy as jordan does. she's managed to work her way up thru the ranks without using her feminine whiles to do so. she's secure enough not to put herself in petty competition with other women and her hair, how does she get that head band to stay put, mine keeps flying off.

her snark is witty, if occasionally ill placed. while fighting against adding a seedy reality show to the network, she continues to refer to the new female exec as the "vp of illiterate programming." while i agree, this is not the best way to begin a new working relationship. she apologizes when necessary and holds firm to her position when needed, perfect balance.

she's true to her word. she makes promises to creative to the discontent of admin, but always for the betterment of the network as a whole. she "looks like one of them, but you talk like one of us," a producer of the comedy show compliments her. she's able to do what is good for business all the while maintaining her integrity, it's a genius i hope to have.
