“Susan, how much
time do I have before the meeting starts?”
“...”
“What? Why didn't
you tell me?”
“...”
“Yes, but you can
interrupt me for meetings. I can't miss a meeting.”
“...”
“What?! How many
did I miss?”
“...”
“Oh god. How long
have I been on this thing?”
“...”
“No, that can't
be right. That doesn't make sense. What the hell have I been doing? I
can't even remember why I started doing this.”
“...”
“Well, that's
dumb. That's it, this project is over. Bring me the forms to sign.
Send a memo. Fire the talking animals. Schedule a meeting. Are there
any more projects lined up?”
“...”
“That many? Shit.
Okay, clear all my appointments. Get me the spreadsheets. Schedule
two meetings. Rehire the talking animals. Send another memo. Contact
the board. Ready a press release. Call my wife. Take notes. Exploit
the poor. Make more appointments! Schedule three meetings! Business!”
