I've decided that the time has come for me to move on job wise. For
those who do not know, for the last few years I worked for a German
company that dealt in the wonderful world of engine oil and all kinds
of petrochemicals. (and no, for the thousandth time we do not sell
sarin or anthrax.) Well, its been a bad couple of years for the
company, losing market share and being beaten all over the place by
American and British competitors. Now why did I throw my lot in with
the Germans? Didn't I learn anything from history? Well anyways the
last straw came when we lost a major contract to this company from
France. You know you're in trouble when the French beat you. Now this
is the country which is home to the Arc de Triomphe (which means arc of
complete capitulation in french). But its not like I didn't see
this coming. not so long ago everyone was telling the boss how everyone
else was pricing their stuff lower, employing lots more sales people
and giving great incentives to customers and we had to do something
about it. The boss listened to it all and and promptly bought himself
another house in Miami.And to make matters worse lots of decisions are
made by his wife, who is Catholic but puts her faith in astrology. (now
what would the local bishop think of that?!)
So anyways, I'm out. I hooked up with some people from around here and
we formed our own independent film company. Woohoo! Now I can do what
I've always wanted to do, which is to start drinking early in the day
and keep my hair long. But seriously we've already got work writing
scripts and pitching concepts for TV and film so its fun and I like to
write anyways.
So who knows, someday i might even have my own action figure, now
that'd be an chievement of a lifetime cos you ain't nobody until you
got your own action figure. (like Conan for instance.)
