Story ideas for this quarter

1. A woman works at the DMV taking the pictures for the drivers. She falls in love with those she photographs. She sees someone who is the epitome of everything she wants to be, searches for her and tries to adopt every aspect of their actions and livestyles. She ultimately faces rejection and the impossibility of it. Should the person she follows be Schizophrenic? Driver? Younger? Rebellious?

2. Romanian young woman, faces the pressure to be safe, be totally safe. Works at a store that caters towards rich tourists. Does she let herself deliberately be unsafe?

3. Office Noir Comedy. Intricacies of Office Drama, over done. Bringing validity into the boring. Office Intrigue? How are people coping with grief? The five stages of grief.

Not sure whether u care about stranger inputs, but I'm gonna give them anyways :)
I think making the person she follows in 1 be schizophrenic would oversimplify things. I dont know what he(or maybe she) should be...maybe someone who is from a so different a mindset than she understood it to be at first... that it is impossible to have a relationship
2, yea romanian woman should let herself be deliberately unsafe because there is always a very strong urge for everyone to do exactly what she hasnt been brought up to do... and u can mix borderline personality disorder charecteristics in her to make it more believable and traumatizing
