well, here i am, back again. did you miss me? i know someone did. I've kinda slipped on writing about work, i have more fun writing about everything else. So today i'm going to get back on track, more or less.
last time i wrote about work i talked about the IRS, and the joys of dealing with them. The letter asking for clarification has been sent off, and an answer is exprcted sometime in the next decade. I don't want to try to be too exact with those people, they are so busy what with "American Idol" down to only a few left, they have to decide who to vote for. and for such challenged people, that must take a lot of brain effort. I'm not trying to be insulting, so i hope no one takes too much offense, and if you do, just write to me and we'll discuss it.
So the next step is to let people know we're out here. Advertising is a big pain in the butt. Part of the problem is that Marty (the majority owner) and i have different ideas about what should be said in the ads. I think short, to the point, and factual is best. He thinks that paragraphs of him quoteing himself about how great our customer service is best. I point out that to get a press release about our new business printed, we need to be proffesional and direct. Marty thinks that because he can turn a clever phrase he should do it ad infinitum, and who wouldn't want to listen to him talk? commies, that's who. no offense to commies. So, what did we decide to do? let Marty write his release, i'll write mine, then i send out the one i think is best. which will be mine. Surprise Marty! nah, he never reads these things.
A little about Marty. I don't remember what I've said about him before, and i'm too lazy to look, so i'll just say it again. He's a good man, but he thinks everyone likes to hear him talk as much as he likes to talk. And if you don't, doesn't matter, he'll still talk. it's not a bad thing, as long as you are able to let him talk and ignore him. just remember the last thing he said and ask him a question about it and he thinks you're listening. now i really hope he doesn't read these things.
Enough for now. Back to playing games. hmmm, I wonder if that's got anything to do with business being so slow.
