The exclusive club nobody wants to join
Jackie likes to play games. Not normal games like chess, football or tiddly winks but mind games that have no winners and only one loser.
One such game is creating a tiny club of ass kissers. She includes these doomed people in “important” meetings or lunches or whatever she wants to waste time on, and excludes key players (the heretics) who can actually do stuff. The object of the game is to hurt the banished. Make them feel unimportant. But it’s a club that nobody wants to join. The heretics prefer Siberia. It’s warmer.
Despairingly, membership isn’t voluntary. Jackie tells you when you’re a member and then you start drinking heavily and punching your husband and so on.
If music be the food of being denied boarding Jackie’s hell-ships, play on.
