[Why Syzygy]

He's just a bit adrift of nobility.

That separation thing at your job is something I've never understood. That is just freaky.

They didn't want me to cook the books. I didn't work in accounting. I did have to give a reporting to the accounting people. The EVP was the one in charge of what happened with the information. The stock value for that company got way up to $3.50 at one time (ahem). I don't know what all went down because I finished my project and my boss, who loved me, ostensibly, but set me up, behind my back, got my radar going full force, and I left. There was too much power play and the land of Oz stuff going on. I think if I had sat back a little and not taken things to heart, I could have outlasted all the big wigs (who all got canned). But c'est la vie. We do the best we can in the moment. It put me on a path to a more satisfying existence. One in which I am still finding my footing. But it is so much more rewarding to experience a little dare devil action than being a meely mouse to people who seem to live and breathe to take someone at the office down. A bit poorer, for sure.

It isn't exactly starting my own business. This is just too wild. All summer I talked with this guy in NJ. He is part of a biz opportunity, and I made an impression on him. My summer was a real roller coaster, with the freak-toid boyfriend and all that. Just a haze. But this opportunity struck home for me. What eventually happened is the NJ guy decided to make an investment for me, so I can go in full force. He backed my financial 100%. I have to get certified, this week. We worked together on the phone this past week and it was so much fun. These things take awhile to build, so I just have to hang in and keep pitching. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where everything you have experienced and learned prior seem to come into play? I have a couple of times. And this is one of those. It has total integrity. There is nothing else like it, and it benefits non-profits. I've done some fund raising, and this is a turn key opportunity for associations to make passive funds for all the good causes we care about. Anyone who takes note of the facts and figures has to be impressed. I know how much non-profits pay for a professional campaign to raise funds. It is really a no brainer for anyone who has the job of bringing in funds. No balls. No dinners. No campaign manager running around asking people for cash. Win/Win for all involved. And the NJ guy, who believes in me, is a real piece of inspiration himself.

I really feel that your new manager is playing a bit of hang-man. And I still wonder about his agenda. And what made him change paddles in mid stream? There was the EVP at the employer I mentioned. He had boats and traveled and I guess women. His contribution was to show up at one of our meetings and give a little rah rah tirade. Nothing. He contributed zero. He was a pretty face. One the company found they could do quite nicely without. It was a skank thing in more ways. Before I left, I transfered to the contracts department. More meetings and found that they were conspiring to write contracts they knew they could not honor. But just let the legal department take care of it later. I never said diddly. It is a wonder our society functions as well as it does. When you get a glimpse of behind the scenes, it just makes me want to say,
"Screw you guys, I'm going home."
