fr_defenestrato | Late-breaking news from the world of my world, or, I am a palm tree...

So I spent much of last week and some of last weekend putting together a slide presentation for my colleague Bert Dicker to present to the upper management at Andrew Undershaft Industries today. This he did. Then he called me to say that (a) everybody loved and agreed with my presentation, and (b) he managed to convince all attendeed that I am the ideal employee to continue work on the current project, and that (c) they therefore should empower him to negotiate with me one more time re staying at AUI. From what Bert said, it sounds awfully close to a blank check... "What would it take to keep you here in your position?"

Hmmm. That's a very good question. I need to take tonight to consider the answer and meet with Bert in the morning.

Yikes.
