Quote:
I have a modest, but successful employee benefits consulting practice. I left a management position 3 years ago during a corporate shake-up when it was clear they wanted new blood and frankly offered me too much money to stay. I am not a big shot. While putting myself through school, I worked as a cab driver, laborer, made manifolds for Ford Thunderbirds and did anything else I needed to. My first job was shining shoes in front of the GM building in downtown Detroit when I was six. As a teenager, I hustled a lot of scrap. I have hired and fired over 100 people but driving a cab and working in the benefits/insurance business gave me the ability to recognize bulls hit when I see it. And you fit the bill. Aside from "not losing too much of (your) fathers money (your words)" I don't see how you possess any significant "influence (again, your word)." Doing part-time work for a racetrack does not make you influential. Your opinion of me as maive, a clown and a degenerate is fine for you to have. Just as mine of you as a full of ****, self-proclaimed influencer of the horse business while two years removed from making sure there was paper in the Fair Grounds press room fax machine is fine as well. The difference between you and me is I do not proclaim to be of any greater "influence" or import than is reasonable for anyone with more than **** for brains to believe. I also do not look to start arguments but seem to have the propensity to carry on when I think it's right to do so. Any more questions? |
