FInancial Advisor Extraordinaire

Maybe some of you wonder what life is like at my office each day (actually probably none of you do but I'm going to tell you anyways so listen up!). Last Wednesday I had a very important meeting (i.e. person who has a lot of $$) at 3pm. My fabulous assistant Julie had spent the better part of the morning preparing the paperwork for this meeting. Around 2:40pm I reached for my water glass and clumsily dumped its entire contents on my paperwork pile. In a panic, I grabbed the top few sheets and shook them off before the water soaked further through the 8" pile. Worriedly, I walked out to Julie's desk and asked her to re-print the damaged pages. Even before I finished my sentence, I noticed the printer repair man dissecting the innards of our printer. I guess the printer had s#*t the bed and he was trying to get it up and running. I convinced him to put the machine back together with lightening speed so that Julie could re-print the pages. Exasperated, I went back to my office and collapsed in my chair. Apparently, in my absence, the chair had neatly soaked up all the water as it ran off my desk. So now, I am soaked as well. Actually, my back and behind are soaked. So here I go off to my important meeting with a crinkled proposal and a half drenched business suit. Thank goodness Jon's photography business is doing well!

You can dress the girl up but you can't make her graceful...Abe you are a riot! I'm glad to know that despite all your successes you're still mortal...even though you live on a 'name' street, since you're such a klutz we'll still talk to you! --jules
