(Something my high-school bio teacher once joked.)Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-339879041325419412023-02-02T06:56:59.486+09:002023-02-02T06:56:59.486+09:00I'm curious how the CEO reached that level and...I'm curious how the CEO reached that level and how he maintains his position. Is the "Golden Goose" owned by an individual, or is it a publically held corporation?John Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614775172062071697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-60100120152864171462023-02-02T01:40:18.295+09:002023-02-02T01:40:18.295+09:00I'm still enjoying reasonable hours.

The CEO wanted to meet with the boss again Wednesday night, but... as the boss has been predicting for some time, the CEO was too tired to meet. Apparently, the CEO goes through this every year: he starts off all energetic and heedless of his mortal limits, but by the end of winter, he's begun to discover that he has to pace himself, and once that happens, the workload for everyone else smooths out, or so the legend goes. I'm still not totally convinced this is true: to me, as long as the CEO has that zigzaggy, willy-nilly personality, we could find ourselves buried, at any time, under a rogue wave of sudden work. We'll see how things go over the next few months.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-83467304526664040312023-02-02T01:05:09.103+09:002023-02-02T01:05:09.103+09:00I'd have waited a little longer before bringin...I'd have waited a little longer before bringing your books and belongings back.John from Daejeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431973044799010218noreply@blogger.com
