I haven't met the new one, but I ate with the previous one several times at company events. I don't really expect the top guy to have the dirt and, if he does, he won't be telling any of it to me. The folks in the trenches are the ones who know what's really going on.

Oh, I would also tell him to only hire hot women. But my boss pretty much already does that.

1) What year is your 300 SL?

2) Is it an aluminum or a steel frame?

3) What year is your 230 SL?

4) Do you have any other SLs?

5) Sometimes I see you driving behind your house in a bulldozer, grader, or excavator, what is your favorite "big" toy?

No thanks, I have several right now. I thought maybe you had a cat walking across your keyboard.

Best,

I was hoping for a couple serious replies but given the current state of things...

There are many questions I would have loved to ask my former company president as he shut down the facility and proceeded to loose $17M the first year and $10M the second.

"I might look funny talking to myself..."

No one to ask the questions either. Some days I'm counting the money, another day I'm sweeping the sidewalk out front. Easy to be humble about it.

1) what are you doing today to generate more business
2) what are you doing tomorrow to generate more business
3) what are you doing to decrease your costs
4) how did you get to be SO awesome
5) when are you going to treat yourself to a well-deserved 911?
