i picture german girl as the st paulies girl.  and don't say anything, just let me have this.

For some reason I pictured her as a german version of Chanel West Coast.  but less annoying.

If you've been following, you know that D2 has essentially lost his role to GG. He's not so dumb that he can't see this. And, in many ways, he acts like you'd expect. He worries about continuing to have something of value to contribute. It's surely why he's been clinging onto the work he'd previously done.

So, over the past six months or so, he's kinda been trying to make a big show of everything that he contributes. Like, for example, going around and telling everyone who'll listen, "Hoo, boy. I've been working on such and such and, man, it's just been a whole bunch of work. I sure am glad that no one else has to deal with it because it's a SUCH A MAJOR PAIN." So, yeah, it's kinda pathetic and embarrassing.

But, TODAY. Today, my friends. Today, Mr. D2 had a package delivery. I became aware of this when I heard him laughing and saying to himself, "Oh, man. That Dave is quite a guy." Then, a moment later to me and GG, "Look at what Dave from [client] sent to me." He's holding up a t-shirt that says PROFESSIONAL MIRACLE WORKER on it. He placed this t-shirt on a table in here so that it is prominently on display. At one point, he pulled in an executive that was passing by to show him this t-shirt. Later, he announces to no one in particular, "I need to give Dave a call and think him for the shirt," gets up, and walks out the door, phone in hand.

Do I think that D2 sent the shirt to himself? Well, I suppose it is a possibility.

Must have been a small miracle to just earn a t-shirt.

How's Charlie Sheen liking his new role?

Also, my ps4 gamertag is x420blaze69x.  Kindred spirits, you and I, chum.

If D2 had a better relationship with you, he could've asked you to work up a Certificate like the one we presented Schulz.

At one point, he pulled in an executive that was passing by to show him this t-shirt.

This guy's response, in a monotone voice, was, "Wow. That's high praise." Then, he immediately turned around and walked out.

Are there any plain old workers in this company?  Seems like everyone is a CEO, or owner, or an executive, or vice pres or some other official title.

if i were to guess what his company looks like, i'd say a total of 200-250 people, mostly sales

There are around 50 employees. What you might call the "leadership team" has continually evolved since I've been here. I'd define the leadership team as whatever group of 2-6 people are best able to influence the Owner/CEO at a given moment. That's a whole story unto itself. All the jockeying for position.

The titles probably couldn't be more meaningless. D2 was introduced to me as a VP. At this point, it  would seem silly to refer to him that way.

Moments ago, GG appeared in the doorway with NG2 so that NG1, D2, and I could meet her. NG2 wasn't shy about addressing the elephant in the room by pointing out that there is not a free desk. GG replied that there will be one and isn't bothered in the slightest to just leave it at that.
