you pushed the panic button, didn't you?
aw shit. awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, shit. i'm getting a little jumpy over here, a little shaky and i don't know what to do. forgive the pointless rambling that will, most likely, follow shortly hereafter. as you have been told, previously, by me, i am, one would say, and i have already, that i am now the sam seaborne of my division. i write speeches. i draft presentations. i don't understand what i'm saying, or rather, what is being said by others after having been written by me, but i find a nice way of saying it nonetheless.
washington mutual is, as has been earlier noted, a touchy-feely sort of corporation and as such is given to employee gatherings, galas, shindigs, hootenannys and whatnot. my main boss is one of those higher-up management SVP types and is, from time to time, expected, at these gathersings, galas, shindigs, hootenannys and whatnot, to give short speeches of the after-dinner variety. these speeches, given by him, are written by me. he could probably write them himself, but i, apparently, can bring the funny. right. so kerry killinger. i'd lnk you to my work homepage, but it's a protected site, so i can't. kerry killinger. he is the chairman, president and CEO of washington mutual. he is also on the board of directors of SAFECO. he is, in blunt terminology, the big boss man.
so kerry killinger, the big boss man. he heard larry give a speech, written by me, of the after dinner variety. he complimented larry on said speech. larry credited me. today, a mere 43 minutes ago, i was contacted by mr. killinger's office and tapped to write for him. not on an exclusive basis, i mean, just when he's got some sort of little thing that needs the funny to be brought and only for such occasions that fall within my division. so probably once every two months.
one, however, for the HLIS-BFS merge executive luncheon needs to be written by the end of this week.
WHAT?!?! wha-no-wha?!!? just the fucking thought of having to do anything for the big boss man practically makes me pee my pants and now i have to like write something for him? i can't write! i can't, i can't! look at the above paragraph, i mean, i've turned into a low-rent ainsley hayes, godammit! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay. i think i'm okay now. i need warm chocolately goodness. accio hot cocoa with extra whip!!!
