Jennifer, ordinarily I would elect to present this
opportunity to Joe in writing with no strings attached, no confidentiality
agreements, blah blah blah. I even thought of knocking on his door with sum
frozen fish left over from a fishing expedition of my “step-son”
who despite his father’s “best efforts” still continues to outpace
both of us. However, given the fact that I have a 10:30 am Pst appointment with
the representative of the owner of a “mountain” of a deal it that is a good one
hour away it would be rather difficult for me to make it to “Ma-d-hat-tan” [sic] and back unless of course we found a
way to take advantage of the “fact” that the speed of light is not constant.
With that said, I am flying by wire, using a wireless
Internet connection that my programmers tell me is not secure. As I mentioned
the one “fun”
project that I am working on has been getting quite a lot of attention lately
especially from the academic community, which I do not belong to. I realize you
don’t know me as well as Joe, so to fill you in, in brief; I began my career as
a failed university “Chew-tor” [sic] and never quite made to
even lecturer status given my “slanted” take on the corporate world. I
began my very first tutorial to a group of first year university students
putting them at rest with, “Good morning,” followed by,
“So you came here to learn business…First,
may I suggest you try and get a job in the real world and if it doesn’t work
out then come back to business school and hopefully you will find someone like
myself who will try and steer you clear of what we do best here, which is to
help you perfect the art of larceny. With that said, in less than 3 months I
[am] headed off to the good old US” [sic].
Make no mistake, I love this country. It is the best place on
earth to get a real world education. Americans are also the most generous
people in the world although we could do a better job limiting the pollutants
we transfer elsewhere as well as teaching our “leaders” to “first chew on the words you
are about to spread forth amongst our children, be prepared to put them down on
paper before uttering a word, otherwise simply toss the thoughts into the waste
paper basket.
With that said, I am staying put. AND you should know I am
completely out of the stock market and intend to stay that way, forever as in Epilogue...
I may very likely terminate my landline today and therefore
the best way for Joe to reach me is on my cell 1-858-735-6398 or
1-858-SEL-NEXT.
Stay in touch.
