Our new Acting Manager, Carlita Paonessa, informed me that I’m being sent to the new Vancouver office for three weeks to train sales staff.
Carlita wears power very well.

We just got back from the “Windows and Doors” convention.
I drove all night just to get us to the office. Me, Otto and Clark.
Yes, Clark.
I hadn’t seen Clark all week. Until he showed up at my motel at 1am, last night.
He was completely drunk. His pants were ripped and he told [...]
