Remember Sarah, let me tell you about what happened to her a few years back. She was a director at Simon and Schuster and a favorite of Max Schuster the third’s. Well Max ultimately made her a VP. She was the fair haired golden child as they say. She showed a lot of promise. “She delivers.” Max often told the others. The others were all envious of the relationship she had with Max, and the reverence in which he held her.
Tom Fink was the IT guy at S & S as they called it. An amorphous blob of bagel eating flesh. A day didn’t go by that there wasn’t a poppy or caraway seed stuck in his teeth, butter or cream cheese on his shirt and the tail, at least a half inch of which, wasn’t protruding from his pants zipper. He gave the impression that he was always angling for something. You couldn’t put your finger on it (another figure of speech, sorry but they are so effective) but he was the type of person one couldn’t let their guard down when one was around. He was bright just as most good programmers always are. The smell of Toms body odor was reminiscent of the rendering of blubber into sperm oil.
