Old White Men Are Suckers

The pitch was done in an hour – from 8:30 to 9:30 and goddamn that was easy.  I’ve never had a client agree to a relationship that fast.  I did have my strategic planner there, who can talk his way into any situation, so that’s definitely what sold it.  I lend nothing to a pitch but bad manners and bagel distribution.  But whatever goes up, must come down and not 10 minutes later I snapped the heel of my favorite shoes sprinting up the stairs while trying to evade my boss in the elevator.
