RE: Whats in a name...?
Angie,
I thought you "mite enjoy the byte about "professor" Vs
"professional" butt to teach their own" [sic] to mention in
passing how a man like Sebastian Capella might help you impart a more accurate
perspective to Nextel's salesforce.
I wasnt
sure if I mentioned that the marketing-publishing company that I was brought in
to restructure during the 1980s had on of the largest "distrobution
lists" [sic] in the industry with "sum pretty ticked off distributors
to boot" [sic]. With the help though of an amazing team we were able to
turn around this "joggernought" [sic] in less than 18 months allowing
the top dog not only to avoid the horrors of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, CH 7 an
almost certainty, that would have raised many questions including the fees
received from the nationwide distributors butt in the end we were all able to
stand much taller, height never an issue for those with healthy self-esteem.
Take a
look at one cry baby
who came 10th in the Iron Man competition which was held in Florianopolis,
Brazil in late April. [Another French
Canadian friend came 9th out of over 800 triathletes on July 4th
and then 26th out of a field of 1,250 a few weeks later at Camp
Pendleton. In time he will solve the problem of “reigning”
[sic] in Pypeetoe without destroying his free spirit.]
I got
caught checking out the rocks of Peru
and received a splashing at Igazu
Falls. There are lots of other pictures we will be putting up on the websites
butt I still need to get permission from one bird where a picture tells much
more than a 1000 points of light.
I had
such trust in my team that I never once reviewed anything that we published.
One of the main reasons why the top independent insurance agents as well as
direct insurance folks like the "good hands people" spent thousands
of dollars per year buying our newsletters was because it limited their
liability exposure while telling their insureds how to play pong.
See the
start of the 600 plus mile walk
that begins in Minehead, England. Around Christmas last year I started this
walk but decided in the end to simply buy a bed and breakfast inn with a cafe
attached. I have been kinda preoccupied
this summer but the previous owner has been doing me the honors of keeping
Seachange Cafe open day and night, wetherly to boot, capital to preserve.
In the
5 years that I helped run the marketing-publishing company I kept a very low
profile, only coming out of my office when there was a need. Only those
departments that needed the most guidance got to see me. I made it my business
to hire only the best and brightest and then get out of the way. One of the
very first things I did though was to try and make the good employees stay on
the job while getting rid of the slugs.
Within
days of being hired I was faced with having to terminate almost a third of the
company. I had no experience in the publishing world nor did I know very much
about insurance. To this day I wouldn't be able to tell you anything about what
is "proper and adequate" insurance coverage butt I do know how
important toilets are, especially for women. In recent times I have become
rather wordy in my writings. In the 5 years that I helped run IMS I may have
sent out as many as 5 memos and not one would have been more than a paragraph.
My first memo coming on the heels of this rather large layoff was actually a
flowchart showing people how to “add-rest” going to the toilet including
red-ress the problems of bad parenting. It helped though separate the wheat
from the chaff.
When
the President who hired me wanted to know why I was wasting my precious time
graphically laying out the different steps involved in doing business #1 and #2
as in when to check, when to double check, "Cant you find someone else to
do deal with the plumbing problems" which kept backing up, backing me into
a corner because no one else was dealing with the problem, I then informed him
"it could end up in your lap since I don't know at this time who is
staying and who is going?"
Time
and space was at a premium and there was a lot of gas coming from all quarters
especially the two not so well-heeled folks at the very top who thought they
had just hired a complete nutcase. Needless to say I had the President fired
within a year. The chairman who I "enabled" to buy Lawrence Welks'
not-so-little estate up in the Pacific Palisades and new Rolls' and Bentleys to
boot eventually within a short space of my leaving the company was once again
in the "poor house" although he managed to find a second wife, a
psychologist who helped support him.
I could
not be blamed for what became of this not-so-little company that we built up in
a very short time since I stuck to the letter of my non-compete. However, the
very next day after my non-compete ended, I became a consultant to the Prentice
Hall division of Simon & Schuster who were at one point interested in
acquiring us. By the way, in turning around the company I never borrowed one
dime from the banks nor did I raise one dollar in additional capital; moreover,
every single “distrubtor” [sic] was paid off 100 cents in the dollar and so
were all the trade creditors. When I arrived on the scene not only had the
monies from the distributors been spent but the marketing materials that were
used to solicit the "distribututors" [sic] in the first place had not
been paid for.
One
makes one's luck by always treating the best of the best better than the rest
and making certain that those in need only get a helping to get them to the
Next level. The elderly, those on crutches, in wheel chairs or simply below 75
IQ points should get 100% of our support assuming they were not responsible for
their injuries and if they are then we still better find a way to take care of
them or they will grow up and possibly become mad.
On the
www.Nextraterrestrial.com website I will be discussing my experiences
"growing up" in more detail including my run ins with a man whose
first name was "Gunter." I just got off the phone with a "Ms.
Günter man" [non-sic] who is interested in renting one of my apartment
units in Santa Monica. She is a graduate student at UCLA and is about to start
her dissertation in the classics. She naturally has a strong background in
history. I was telling her about this website which a pathologist had put
together on Prometheus that included a terrific graphic illustration of how an
autopsy is done AND when I clicked on it it appeared to have disappeared.
Perhaps you might have more luck.
Check
out my QUOTE
OF THE WEEK from way back when. This was the first and only time I can
remember the editorial staff ever publishing anything I said. The writing
though was on the wall. In less than 3 years I would be on the road. That
summer though was terrific. I spent it traveling through the Greek islands
spending most of the time on Samos which as you may know is where Pythagoras
was born.
I told
this "Ms. Günter man" that she was able to place more than a smile on
my face since I am always looking for the most positive things even when one is
dealing with the most negative. I am about to tell a story about this guy
"Gunter" who I never once saw smile who managed in his wake to wreck
a lot of havoc on many folks' lives growing up in South Africa.
I am
not sure I know how to remove your name from my list butt soon the emails will
stop and you can check it all out at your own pace at the NT array of websites.
I promise you it is going to get more interesting. Remember it looks right now
that a 10 year old has been programming... well you've already read who our
market "is write" [sic].
It will
even cover subjects for the intellectual elite butt I will make the
intellectuals first chew on their words before uttering a sound. We will
translate their words at sum point into numbers using the Guidance tTOo
:) Happy Smile approach. Click on below to see what I mean.
Also we
will show other happy faces including our bird who was named "Happy"
last night. It is all about our names. We are born with a name given to us by
others and we leave this planet with only our reputations. I guard my
reputation joyously and jealously, as much as I do any bird of any species,
particularly the two legged ones who play it straight, up and down, each and
every day. An ad
I once placed in a South African newspaper spoke volumes. Click on below:
On my
last trip to Los Angeles I managed to get a photo of a car's license plate that
also spoke volumes, 62 points in my book, not quite 63
butt still pretty decent.
If you
feel the need to take a break try our family's brew of Gipsy coffee.
Unfortunately, this particular stock is out of stock butt if you get your hands
on sum, please let me know.
My
grandfather began the family business sweeping the streets of Durban South
Africa, picking up unbroken bottles; it wasn't long before I began cleaning up
on Wall Street, the stock market a thing of the past butt I have kept my hand
in what gave my grandfather and father their golden reputations. Like clockwork
every quarter I receive my stipend from a street
cleaning business. It ranks with one of my better IRRs.
AND yes
we should always give folks the benefit
of the doubt butt we shouldn't lose our marbles just because we go every so
often to the toilet. Butt going to the toilet is time to refresh, time to
renew, old and new alike, just the smell is different.
Make no
mistake a major storm is brewing. Check out my Dad on "jogger
rock" South Africa. Here in Del Mar we have our own “flat rock”, just
a little bigger.
Understand,
you are likely going to be in the good company of Warren Bail us out
Buffet. Please confirm that all Nextel related charges have been reversed from
my credit card. We appreciate the business.

Whats in a name...?
You
have to love a man who in his mid seventies can call it straight, "They
don't
know what they are talking about." A few minutes ago Sebastian Capella
who I
understand will be back on you TV broadcast in a few minutes is known
not
just for his amazing art but never minces his words.
He can
not only draw but he knows about "mixing color write... neither black nor
white is a color and the more you move away from both the richness of all the
color spectrums emerge." This is one professional who never lost the
professor in him when he started to make a living out of his profession,
"Professional
comes
from professor which means to teach." Often when trying to make ends
meet we
forget the professor in each of us.
Earlier
in the broadcast there was reference to "... God has done some
incredible
things." Soon you can check out EmanANDdog.com which spelled
backwards
is... You can check out my Pypeetoe at
http://www.nextraterrestrial.com
and then click on "...page 1 or page 2."
The
first page shows him resting after a long flight to Peru earlier this
year
where we were treated like Kings. We will soon tell the story of how I
managed
to get him on board the plane using that pitching wedge as a leash
without
anyone really questioning either of our credentials. On a later
flight
we had a captain of the plane practicing his golf swings at 33,000 ft
not
realizing that in fact the club head was manufactured by a 3rd World
military
contractor.
As you
scroll down you will see me practicing my golf
swings
at the top of Machu Picchu. When you get to "page 2" and scroll past
the
first tTOo pictures you will see Pypeetoe running circles around me
while
producing a perfect infinity sign using another leash.
By the
way Sebastian Capella referred to by your on the scene reporter as
the
"Sean Connery of contemporary art" knows who I am, so does the
breeder
of
Pypeetoe who bred my dog as well as I understand Fox's program director.
Supposedly
her Italian Greyhound and Pypeetoe are full-on brothers. Were it
not for
him being 1 inch tTOo tall Pypeetoe tTOo would have a championship
or tTOo
under his belt. Pypeetoe got his name because he has the "right
angle"
markings of Pythagoras and continues to pee on his toes. His birth
name
was "Hoss" because he has the head of a "sea horse" and
trots just like
a
horse. He also seems to respond just as well to God...
I am
also writing a book, Manager Minute One, at we should be our own
managers
from the ghetto as well as the get-go. Click on below to see my
first
communication with the Fox Network.
Soon we
will start covering the race
for Governor "... skaking down

up in Berkeley for $100..." [sic]. I have the story that is going

politics in California as well as around the world upside down.

Gary,
I must say that the
thing I hate most about communicating in the written
form, is the inability
to hear tone and see the body language that make up
the entire message. Therefore, please understand that I am not
100%
confident that I 'got'
all of what you were trying to convey in your
messages. The one thing I can say with 100% confidence
is that we were not
able to satisfy
you. For that, I truly apologize. Even though the damage
is already done, I am
sincerely sorry.
I think your comment
about "my deafening silence speak(ing)volumes"
indicates you have
jumped to some pretty nasty conclusions about me and my
abilities. Am I right?
If that is the case, I think it's important you
know I was out of the
office last week. I returned to the office this
morning and had the
opportunity to review the emails you and Cheryl
exchanged in my
absence. I understand my
non-responsiveness 'spoke
volumes'... I'm sorry it
sent any sort of negative message. I
always forget
to activate my Out Of
Office reminder. This is a good learning
experience
for me. As I can see the result when someone thinks
I am ignoring them
rather than just away
for a few days.
The reasons I didn't
respond to you prior to this week are pretty basic. I
would like to have the opportunity
to explain them to you. However since I
now know, this
communication may likely end up on your website, I think it's
best that I fault on the
side of brevity.
In closing, I will say
my chosen profession has given me many lessons
regarding the inexact
science of communication. It has also
taught me
plenty about how some
people feel about learning. The most
important lesson
I think I have learned,
you actually alluded to in your last message.
I'm
sure some of my 'pupils'
are thinking "blah, blah, blah" when they listen to
me 'preach the
gospel'. However after feeling like I
was banging my head
against the wall in
those cases, I saw it only left me with big knots on my
head. I realized even though I truly want to
'help'... some people plain
and simply don't want
any help. I could continue to bang my
head against
the wall with the folks
who don't want my 'help' or try to focus on the ones
who I truly can
help. Those knots are why I was so
energized by your kind
words. I am sorry you have doubted their validity
in hindsight.
I wish you the best on
your website and your book.

Dear Angie,
This is really starting
to get interesting although the executor of my
estate would undoubtedly
say, "Frightening!" At NextraTerrestrial we will be
covering all sorts of subjects
including psychiatry but there will now be
another "war
front" which for the moment I will refer to as "The
Next-i-tails for the
seeing AND those seeking empowerment." Do you remember
if we covered why nature
had us lose our tails to mention just in passing
why cats rarely sniff
the butts of mice to mention even less why panties are
such big sellers or why
nature invented Daddy longlegs and not Mother
longlegs? So much for
name calling, wouldn't you agree?
Butt your pupil, Cheryl
Rudely, must have thought that during my month long
hiatus, short by 15
minutes, I must have lost my mind. What is, however,
more important is what
you were thinking given the fact that back on June
12th in response to your
email thanking me for giving you a moral boost I
had said,
"... butt is full
to mention little of how easy it is to uncover folks by
paying attention to
their written word. It is rare that I praise someone
just for what I hear
because most often what one hears is out of context
especially when
listening in to others conversations."
Now you will see how
stiletto my "write" can be when I get pushed against a
wall.
With that said, click on
below to get a summary of all of our
communications. If I
have missed an email or tTOo please let me know and we
will update the website.
http://nextraterrestrial.com/pdf/Nextel.pdf
With that said, it
should be very apparent to you why I believe so much in
the written word, how
certain folks have a propensity to play it fast and
loose if given the chance.
Never though would I have believed that someone
working for a
Miss-Fortune company would trip himself or herself up so
easily. Could Ms.
Rudely, however, be able to mitigate her damages by
apportioning blame on to
her tutor?
I have a pal called Trevor.
He is one of my "failed students" from
university where I
tutored business-accounting. He has yet, however, to
thank me for encouraging
him to drop out of his "business studies." Perhaps,
though, it has do with
the fact that he has attention deficit disorder. I
had simply suggested,
"instead of studying business which makes no sense
since business is all
about human nature... more art form than it is science
and therefore you are
better off studying art but of course if you cannot
draw you cannot make a
living being an artist-painter but then you should at
least study the liberal
arts as in Shake-spear, 'Oh what a tangled web...'
because the only thing
you will get out of this faculty is how to commit
larceny, faculties to
boot." Instead, Trevor dropped out altogether and now
mostly frets. He is,
however, sadly, not alone. There are many who finished
university who would
find comfort in spending time with my buddy who is
still good looking, in
shape and has plenty of charm and charisma.
With that said, on July
18th at 11:24 AM Ms. Rudely emailed me:
"You are mistaken;
I was not going to make a "he said, she said". I have
something else to talk
to you about. What is your number?"
Now Angie pay very
careful attention to your account representative's
"recap" of our telephone
conversation and please explain to me why what she
had to say over the
telephone to me couldn't have been dealt with via email
as I had wanted so as to
avoid, "he said she said."
I just looked at your
company's stock price. It seems to be trading at a
premium to book value of
some $9 per share. Perhaps more to the point is the
fact that you folks are
positioned way off the Bell Curve, i.e. a book value
of almost a negative $2
per share. And I would be willing to bet that
included in that
negative $2 number is an item called
"God-will."
With that said try not
to test my patience any further although it seems you
along with Ms. Rudley
are hell bent on wanting to serf this one out. I doubt
though that either of
you have the "skill-ets" to really compete in the real
world of less talk and
more action. One of the great things about surfing is
that there is just you
and the wave; no sounds, no one going yack-c-ity
yack-c-ity yack yack
yack, no need for laxatives. Real surfers, not just
folks who collect
surfboards in their garages avoid at all cost folks who go
quack quack quack.
Recently I saw with
"The ladyfriend" and my one step-kid Feast of Fools at
the "La Jolla
Playhose" Theatre, which I am sure you know, is "akak" mime.
By the way I consider
ALL the kids mine. There is one scene where all you
hear is quack quack
quack and another scene of this man who must be at least
50 if he is a day
sitting in an oversized "hi-cheer" making fun of parents
who plaster all sorts of
"make up" on their faces day in and day out while
cooking up a storm. How
long do you think it takes a baby to realize that
"its" parents
are not Gods but "its?" How long before they work out that
they are a bunch of
hypocrites? Trust me when I tell you that both my
step-kids are a step
ahead of both their parents as well as me. I still,
however, win at chess
but not for long since I no longer have time to play
the game although with
that said the "wars" we will be waging on the
NextraTerrestrial array
of websites in the future will be very much like
what you see when one
person plays against a wall of chess players, never
though do I have my back
against the wall. That would be enough to make me
go crazy. Been there,
done it.
A friend of mine lives
right across the street from the Theatre just off La
Jolla Farms road. He is
a cardiologist and his wife, whose name is also
Angie is an anesthetist.
Over the course of the past month in between
training my dog,
Pypeetoe, for the next Iron Man and finishing up on several
shareholder class action
lawsuits already in the works I have been writing
about the drawbacks of
"sucking on the hind tit."
Where do think this
insensitivity all begins? It certainly seems reasonable
that breastfeeding is
what nature intended but why do you think the breasts
were positioned so close
to the human mouth? Could it be that nature had
already worked out the
"byte" business way ahead of time as we know it, that
garbage in results in
garbage out, that while breastfeeding our children we
should be ever so
careful to teach them right, TO CHEW ON OUR WORDS BEFORE
UTTERING A SOUND,
MINDFUL OF THE CHILD WHO LISTENS SO WELL AS HE SUCKS ON
THE NIPPLE AT TIMES
PAINFUL TO THE MOTHER PERHAPS ANOTHER SIGN THAT THE
CHILD WHO CANNOT TALK IS
TRYING TO PARENT THE PARENT THAT HE-SHE IS NOT
ALTOGETHER DEAF DUMB AND
BLIND.
With that said, the
"Frightening" guy told me a story yesterday that really
got my attention. His
wife is Danish and as you know some of the best pigs
come from that part of the
world. About decade or say ago one very wealthy
farmer was with his
young kid near one of the pig pens and the phone rang in
the house. The farmer
went inside. When he returned he found the pigs had
killed and were now
eating his kid. He went back into the house to get his
gun and then killed all
the pigs before shooting himself.
The only story I know
that doesn't even come close is what happened to
another friend of mines
mother a few years back. She was visiting a game
reserve in South Africa
where I grew up and was returning to the pool area
where she had left her
sandals. After a while her husband got concerned and
went to check on her and
found she had become dinner to a pride of lions.
With that said, I have
worked out that the only way to hold folks
accountable is to attack
their pride. Companies have built in to their cost
structure the price of
paying it fast and loose, of hiring, training and
tolerating mediocrity.
Until such time that we get with the program, start
paying attention to sum
of the signposts out there that were put in place
ions ago the pigs
amongst us are going to continue at the tough. Eventually
we will all be consumed.
I live each day like it is my last making certain
as best I can that there
are no loose ends which will only serve to trip up
those who continue to
play it fast and loose. The executor of my estate is
exceedingly competent.
Check him Devin Standard at just one of his websites;
http://quasark.com/
Now take a deep breath
and take care of my business. The damage is clearly
done. Now it is just a
question of how I go about collecting. I never allow
myself to become part of
someone else's' collateral damage. I focus on the
small stuff that is
wrong with the system akin to each one of our DNA which
has "damage" built
into it but which fortunately with advances in
"discoveries"
that now begin to be dealt with. Unfortunately, fixing our DNA
doesn't alleviate the
problems endemic, systemic to our human nature, which
is now much more than
epidemic; it has now metastasized.
Have you ever thought
why nature had us "fair wethered" folk more
susceptible to skin
cancer? Who do you think are really the chosen race to
lead us out of this rat
hole?
It is all a matter of
what is "revealed" to us. Go read Stephen Hawkings The
Universe in a Nutshell
or simply wait for my Manager Minute One. Don't,
however, wait one minute
[Ms.] manager to get your butt into gear.
A very disappointed
customer.

as to avoid, "he said she said."
I just looked at your
company's stock price. It seems to be trading at a premium to book value of
some $9 per share. Perhaps more to the point is the fact that you folks are
positioned way off the Bell Curve, i.e. a book value of almost a negative $2 per
share. And I would be willing to bet that included in that negative $2 number is an item called
"God-will."
With that said try not
to test my patience any further although it seems you along with Ms. Rudley are
hell bent on wanting to serf this one out. I doubt though that either of you
have the "skill-ets" to really compete in the real world of less talk
and more action. One of the great things about surfing is that there is just
you and the wave; no sounds, no one going yack-c-ity yack-c-ity yack yack yack,
no need for laxatives. Real surfers, not just folks who collect surfboards in
their garages avoid at all cost folks who go quack quack quack.
Recently I saw with
"The ladyfriend" and my one step-kid Feast of Fools at the "La
Jolla Playhose" Theatre, which I am sure you know, is "akak"
mime. By the way I consider ALL the kids mine. There is one scene where all you
hear is quack quack quack and another scene of this man who must be at least 50
if he is a day sitting in an oversized "hi-cheer" making fun of
parents who plaster all sorts of "make up" on their faces day in and
day out while cooking up a storm. How long do you think it takes a baby to
realize that "its" parents are not Gods but "its?" How long
before they work out that they are a bunch of hypocrites? Trust me when I tell
you that both my step-kids are a step ahead of both their parents as well as
me. I still, however, win at chess but not for long since I no longer have time
to play the game although with that said the "wars" we will be waging
on the NextraTerrestrial array of websites in the future will be very much like
what you see when one person plays against a wall of chess players, never
though do I have my back against the wall. That would be enough to make me go
crazy. Been there, done it.
A friend of mine lives
right across the street from the Theatre just off La Jolla Farms road. He is a
cardiologist and his wife, whose name is also Angie is an anesthetist. Over the
course of the past month in between training my dog, Pypeetoe, for the next
Iron Man and finishing up on several shareholder class action lawsuits already
in the works I have been writing about the drawbacks of "sucking on the
hind tit."
Where do think this
insensitivity all begins? It certainly seems reasonable that breastfeeding is
what nature intended but why do you think the breasts were positioned so close
to the human mouth? Could it be that nature had already worked out the
"byte" business way ahead of time as we know it, that garbage in
results in garbage out, that while breastfeeding our children we should be ever
so careful to teach them right, TO CHEW ON OUR WORDS BEFORE UTTERING A SOUND,
MINDFUL OF THE CHILD WHO LISTENS SO WELL AS HE SUCKS ON THE NIPPLE AT TIMES
PAINFUL TO THE MOTHER PERHAPS ANOTHER SIGN THAT THE CHILD WHO CANNOT TALK IS
TRYING TO PARENT THE PARENT THAT HE-SHE IS NOT ALTOGETHER DEAF DUMB AND BLIND.
With that said, the
"Frightening" guy told me a story yesterday that really got my attention.
His wife is Danish and as you know some of the best pigs come from that part of
the world. About decade or say ago one very wealthy farmer was with his young
kid near one of the pig pens and the phone rang in the house. The farmer went
inside. When he returned he found the pigs had killed and were now eating his
kid. He went back into the house to get his gun and then killed all the pigs
before shooting himself.
The only story I know
that doesn't even come close is what happened to another friend of mines mother
a few years back. She was visiting a game reserve in South Africa where I grew
up and was returning to the pool area where she had left her sandals. After a
while her husband got concerned and went to check on her and found she had become
dinner to a pride of lions.
With that said, I have
worked out that the only way to hold folks accountable is to attack their
pride. Companies have built in to their cost structure the price of paying it
fast and loose, of hiring, training and tolerating mediocrity. Until such time
that we get with the program, start paying attention to sum of the signposts
out there that were put in place ions ago the pigs amongst us are going to
continue at the tough. Eventually we will all be consumed. I live each day like
it is my last making certain as best I can that there are no loose ends which
will only serve to trip up those who continue to play it fast and loose. The
executor of my estate is exceedingly competent. Check him Devin Standard at just one of his websites;
Now take a deep breath
and take care of my business. The damage is clearly done. Now it is just a
question of how I go about collecting. I never allow myself to become part of
someone else's' collateral damage. I focus on the small stuff that is wrong
with the system akin to each one of our DNA which has "damage" built
into it but which fortunately with advances in "discoveries" that now
begin to be dealt with. Unfortunately, fixing our DNA doesn't alleviate the problems
endemic, systemic to our human nature, which is now much more than epidemic; it
has now metastasized.
Have you ever thought
why nature had us "fair wethered" folk more susceptible to skin
cancer? Who do you think are really the chosen race to lead us out of this rat
hole?
It is all a matter of
what is "revealed" to us. Go read Stephen Hawkings The Universe in a
Nutshell or simply wait for my Manager Minute One. Don't, however, wait one
minute [Ms.] manager to get your butt into gear.
A very disappointed
customer.

Gary,
Per our conversation,
you will be canceling the phones. You have the number
to call and to have them
shut off. As I explained I cannot do that; only the
customer can cancel the
service.
And to recap our
conversation (which I never got anything more said than the
above statement and the
800 number needed to call) you said some really
nasty things to me; and
then hung up.
In the future, TRY BEING
DIRECT. IF YOU WANT SOMETHING- SAY IT. You've used
several references to
your past experiences, and analogies.
But I am your
Nextel rep, not your
psychiatrist. You never let me know; is your phone not
working? Do you need to
be trained on the internet service? Are you having a
problem with your
internet service? You never let me know. I also don't have
a problem with any of my
emails; they have been polite and direct
(perhaps
misinterpreted if you
saw anything other than trying to take care of your
needs and develop a
successful business relationship).
Remember Gary, I called
you several times, and you never returned one phone
call.
I will gladly mail you
out some labels and you can send the phones back.
Best of luck to you.

EL....as in Nextraterrestrial
Dear Angie, obviously I
wasn't "mistaken" - Cheryl's words, "I have something else to
talk to you about" are in fact more of the same nonsense I have got from
her from the beginning. After giving me an 800 number to call and telling me
"I cannot cancel you myself. I am just your account representative...I
don't understand why you are canceling the service...It will still cost you
$20..." I hung up on her because it didn't seem like I was really getting
through to her.
She did sound genuinely
surprised that I had never used the service though. I managed to throw in that
everyone else who I had copied in our communications didn't seem to have a
problem understanding why I wouldn't want another Nextel sales account rep
which is one of the other things she suggested. Tell me Angie why would I want
another "Cheryl Rudely" [sic]?
Your deafening silence
also speaks volume. Of course when I first visited your offices in Mission
Valley I had overheard you "toilet training" one individual giving
someone on the other end of the line some very good but very basic suggestions;
for all I know it could have been your baby brother or sister, boyfriend,
girlfriend just saying to themself, "blah blah blah."
As I told you I ran
almost 20 years ago a very successful marketing-publishing company where most of
our sales were done by telemarketers. We constantly brought in trainers, the
very best in the country at the time. We were pioneers in the industry,
certainly in the insurance industry where we dominated. We sold management and
marketing systems which included millions of newsletters that in turn where
mailed to folks like you and me telling us how we should go about mitigating
our risks. The average sales ran into several thousand dollars as much as
$5,000 and sometimes more. Over a period of 5 years while I was running the
company I don't think I could have counted on both hands the number of sales
that were returned because a salesperson "didn't get it." Remember
now, we were mostly soliciting new business. Most of the sales were "cold
calls." Never once did I take an angry call from one customer and trust me
when I tell you I had my finger on the pulse of the organization. The company
was down the tubes when I was brought in and by the time I left the principal
shareholder who was has difficulty scraping together enough money
"stealing from Peter to pay Paul" was now living in Lawrence Welks'
little estate just down the road from Ronald Reagan in the Pacific Palasades
driving a spanking new Rolls Royce while his wife had the better Bentley. In
the end she got it all.
I came to you folks
primed. I was very eager to get started. I traveled all the way into Mission
Valley referred down there by another sales rep by the name of
"Billy" since I wanted to get my telephones that very day. Only when
Cheryl was finished showing me her struthers, strutting in and out of the
cafeteria constantly looking for help from other sales people did she finally
tell me that I couldn't leave with the phones, that they would have to be
delivered to me. And the rest is now fully documented in emails as to what
happened next.
Just because you make
perfect sense in one setting doesn't mean you are perfect, that you couldn't
improve. Perhaps why you felt you needed a boost, a rise in other words, is
because something is very wrong within your organization, that the fish is very
possibly rotten from the head down and it is so far only coming down in
trickles. Remember my bottoms up schooling, how the culture of an organization
rises from just examining how the janitor is appreciated, often one doesn't
need to reach the executive suites to know exactly the source of the stench.
One of the things I never allow to happen is to become part of someone else's
collateral damage. Since I know for certain it all comes out in the bottom I make
it my business try and stay away from trouble the minute I get a whiff.
The time is now 5:40 pm
on my computer clock. I began calling the 800 number at around 4:55pm. Shay in
the retention department answered, She told me "I cannot disconnect all of
the phones ... I can transfer you to another retention department. She wished
me "Good luck." A guy by the name of Tom answered, "Hi...you are
lucky. You are the only Gevisser in the database...You are actually speaking to
the wrong department. You need to be talking with the telesales return
department...Mr. Gevisser, if I am going to have to spell everything out ...I
don't have the time to wait while you type away. Are you ready for me to
transfer you to them?" Tom pressed a few buttons that caused severe pain
in my one ear and then I heard, "Your call is very important to
us..." Just a minute ago the phone call was disconnected. It may have been
because another call was coming in. And so another almost hour of my time has
been wasted. Someone is going to pay for it of that you can bet your bottom
dollar.
Please Angie, I am
pleading with you make this easy on yourself. Just do the right thing.

Dear Cheryl,
It is impossible for me
to give you a "sweat and short" answer
to your "seamingly
pimple" question "How's everything going?."
Back in late 1993 I
wrote a memo to a "a couple" -- they were not though
your typical husband and
wife team. In a nutshell it addressed how
management often times
obfuscate their non-stellar performance by engaging
in all sorts of distracting
tactics to mention little of their being a "hero
some gain"
strategic objective when one party gets to enjoy the spoils of
victory at the other
party's expense.
With that said, I
thought I might hear a more elaborate response to my
earlier email to
you back on June 14th
that I thought spelled things out pretty clearly, i.e.
that I was not exactly
amused with your poor performance, specifically your
"dia-la-tribe"
earlier in the day, "...I also need to set the expectation
clear from the beginning...,
but that does
not mean I don't have
anything else to do. I am ...I cannot."
The words, "I
am" go back to the beginning of time, wouldn't you agree?
With that said, I will
now be returning the four telephones along with the
data cable that did
eventually arrive. Please let me know where I should
send the package; in
other words please provide me with shipping
instructions including
prepaid "labeling." Please also make certain that not
one cent is charged to
my credit card.
I hope though that you
continue check in with us at NextraTerrestrial and
how we deal with folks
who derive great enjoyment in exceeding the limits of
their small authority,
i.e. evil doesn't come with a pointed tail and a
pitched fork.
Perhaps, in time you
will learn more about how important it is to listen AND
remember before you
decide to say anything, chew on it, be prepared to write
it down on paper
otherwise toss it into the wastepaper basket, click on once

so I may be hard to get

I will help you out with

phones, and most
importantly direction. If you have a question or service
issue, I can tell you
where to go (as you become more familiar with Nextel,
you will already know).
At any rate, strictly

760.594.1458- Jonathin
760.594.1459- Marie
760.594.1460- YOU
(These numbers can also

...working backwards I
have found helps keep things in perspective given how quick we are prone to

multi-face-it-ted, tTOo faced made to look odd, the rest to embrace. I read
very little, again it is all relative but I would be interested in your critic
of the oz principle. I dont think I say anything that hasnt been said before;
my "mentor" is pythagoras yet we have no record of any of his
writings, in other words I try not to
assume anything. I did buy a book the other as a result of my hairdresser
recommending it, the four agreements, and to the credit of its author the cover
said it all and i am told it is a best seller; proof positive that you can in
fact not only tell a book by its cover but how success, especially financial
success tends to add layer upon layer of bullshit until the butt is full to
mention little of how easy it is to uncover folks by paying attention to their
written word. It is rare that I praise someone just for what I hear because
most often what one hears is out of context especially when listening in to
others conversations.
When however I hear
competency combined with integrity to mention little of listening carefully to
the needs of others it is hard for me to stay still, far different than when I
hear nonsense, always trying to remember to convey even to the most outragious
a way out, to take a deep breath which is best achieved while "standing
still." I will forward to you a not so little email i sent a restaurant
owner the day before yesterday after he intervened to help resolve a problem i
had with the managers of his two restaurants. Come to think of it i dont
remember telling him nor his managers that it was time to "stand
still" let alone take a deep breath.
I would very much like
to get your input as we put our war-peace-perpetual machine into motion. Also I
am a little dissapointed with the response from my saleslady at Nextel. I have
yet to receive the equipment and you may recall my purpose for coming all the
way to mission valley was to expedite the mission. I had first discussed my
needs over the telephone with one of your reps by the name of billy who
suggested that although he wouldnt earn a commission on the transaction the
best way for me to get going immediately was to head south. So far all i have
to show for my trouble was running into you which by the way more than makes up
for the poor performance of that sales rep who simply proves out the rule that
despite having the best of teachers not everyone listens as hard as they should...ipsofacto
there is room to improve... competition is part of our nature, i.e. STABLE; you
can dress them up but you cannot always take them out to the finest of
restaurants, Pacifica Del Mar to boot.

Gary,
I wanted to thank you
again for taking the time to talk with me the other
day. I too, believe that most things happen for a
reason. You have no
idea, how timely our
meeting was for me. I really needed
your kind words
and encouragement. Even the most positive attitude needs a
'booster shot'
every once in
awhile. Please know you boosted me when
I needed it most.
Anyway, I went on your
site and wanted to share a few thoughts about it.
The mission statement
stirred many of them (thoughts). For
many years I
have been fighting the
fight to help friends, family, aquaintances,
employees, etc.
understand that we are all responsible for the choices we
make. And therefore we are accountable for the
results of those choices. I
say 'fighting the fight'
because this task of sharing this belief can be
quite a
challenge... challenging, frustrating,
and in many cases rewarding
all at the same time. I must say it is so refreshing when I run
accross
tharare individuals who
already share in the belief of this very basic
concept. Especially when so many, are just as strong
in the belief that
they are victims of
their circumstances. I'll leave it at
that... but know,
I could go on and on
about this topic, as I am beyond passionate in this
same belief.
Have you ever read The
Oz Principle? This book is about this
very topic. I
am in the process of
reading it right now. It discusses this
epidemic (lack
of accountability) and
how it affects society, and more specifically
organizations.
I am very interested in
hearing more. I am very interested to
find out how
I may become more

Gary,
I wanted to thank you
again for taking the time to talk with me the other
day. I too, believe that most things happen for a
reason. You have no
idea, how timely our
meeting was for me. I really needed
your kind words
and encouragement. Even the most positive attitude needs a
'booster shot'
every once in
awhile. Please know you boosted me when
I needed it most.
Anyway, I went on your site
and wanted to share a few thoughts about it.
The mission statement
stirred many of them (thoughts). For
many years I
have been fighting the
fight to help friends, family, aquaintances,
employees, etc.
understand that we are all responsible for the choices we
make. And therefore we are accountable for the
results of those choices. I
say 'fighting the fight'
because this task of sharing this belief can be
quite a
challenge... challenging, frustrating,
and in many cases rewarding
all at the same time. I must say it is so refreshing when I run
accross
tharare individuals who
already share in the belief of this very basic
concept. Especially when so many, are just as strong
in the belief that
they are victims of
their circumstances. I'll leave it at that...
but know,
I could go on and on
about this topic, as I am beyond passionate in this
same belief.
Have you ever read The
Oz Principle? This book is about this
very topic. I
am in the process of
reading it right now. It discusses this
epidemic (lack
of accountability) and
how it affects society, and more specifically
organizations.
I am very interested in
hearing more. I am very interested to
find out how
I may become more
successful at sharing this 'grandiose' idea!
