Jesse, that is so great--both bits. I'm very jealous in the happy for you way (I mean that part).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Do you know why he is flying people to Nebraska?
Um, not really? There's going to be touring of Berkshire Hathaway subsidiaries, and then a Q and A. I dunno why, really. I think I'm mostly excited to stay in a hotel I'm not paying for.

Seriously, I have gotten way too many good-news phone calls today. Now I'm nervous. BUT NO! It is just making up for my lame-ass summer when all I did was work at jobs I didn't like and not take any time off.

On Tuesday, I'm going to get a makeover from Isaac Mizrahi, and on Thursday, Warren Buffett is flying me to Nebraska.
Holy fuck! I'm very excited about this.

Wow, Jesse's going big-time on us.
I am pretty sure "operationalize" was a word coined by the US military. It smacks of that pedigree.
Dylan, tell 'em it's military jargon, and I bet they let you take it out.
They're curiously inventive with words. They coined "exfiltrate" off of "infiltrate," and a ton of other fun words. Including snafu!
Love exfiltrate. And I think fubar is also military.
It's not that I'm opposed to new words or new uses of old words. I just want them to be clever and catchy, and not sound like something my former boss would glom onto and use ten times in a 30-minute meeting.
So I basically want to be the descriptivist dictator. Because I'm vain, egotistical, and enjoy tilting at windmills.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm planting my flag. I am TOTALLY writing Jesse's biography.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Holy crap, Jesse. So fucking awesome.
