1. I am one of the few people in the world, I think, who enjoys strategic planning.
2. What I dislike is nothing happening as a result of the work we put in.
3. I get away with murder at this company.
4. This is partly because I am their pet freak — a role that suits me well, and which I play for all it is worth.
5. It also has to do with 20 years under my belt here — a certain street credibility attaches itself to you.
6. Everyone believes me when I say a word needs to be changed in a statement for greater clarity or precision — because, hey, poet, you know.
7. I get to say stuff like, “hey, isn’t that what we said last year, and it didn’t work then?”
8. I scare new people.
9. I like scaring new people.
10. All this is true, and I’d still quit this joint tomorrow if I wasn’t finishing school.
