某市知名时尚杂志《face》（脸）面临着重大人事改革，所有职位都将实行竞争上岗和年薪制。消息传出后，整个杂志社人人自危、个个忐忑，都想争取好职位，拿到好薪水，暗暗地攒着劲四处发力，自觉前途暗淡的人惶惶不可终日。首席编辑部主任赵博风是最兴奋的人，他觉得自己不比谁差，最大的资本是他年轻。最倒霉的是资深编辑部副主任李村，偏偏“屋漏偏遇连阴雨，破船又遭顶头风”。他年轻漂亮的第三任妻子火上浇油似的向他提出了离婚，让他更是晕头转向。其他的年轻编辑，赛赛、张非常、唐瑭等人更是各盯其位，使出浑身解数。竞争上岗结束后，编辑部表面上恢复了平静，但私底里仍然是暗波起伏，有人牢骚有人嘲笑，人际关系重新交织、定位。因为岗位实行新的聘任制，事关利益，大家都努力表现自己，希望在下一次竞岗时自己能再进一步。

Hyacinth Bucket (whose name, she insists, is pronounced "Bouquet") is a suburban housewife in the West Midlands. She would be the first to tell you that she is a gracious hostess, a respected citizen, and a well-connected member of high society. If you don't believe that, just ask her best friend Elizabeth, held captive in Hyacinth's kitchen; or the postmen and neighbours who bristle at the sound of her voice; or Richard, her weary and compliant husband.In fact, Hyacinth's reputation could be as perfect as her new lounge set, if not for her senile father's love of running wild in the nip. Oh, and she would prefer it if her brother-in-law was a sharper dresser. And that her husband was more ambitious. And that her sisters were more presentable. And do take your shoes off before you come in the house, dear. Mind that you don't brush against the wallpaper.
