May there soon be a check that clears, Hec. That's awesome.
It's hard to pay the rent on 12% of nothing, but if it turns into Something that'd be a mighty nice slice of pie to have.
DH has been covering Toy Fair all weekend - I should have sent him to check you guys out!
Oh, we didn't have a booth or exhibition space. Just a tiny shared meeting room. But Toy Fair is useful because it pulls all the far flung execs together in one place which makes it easier to have a consequential sit-down.
Actual conversation that happened two weeks ago:
Ellen: "Fred wants you to do [onerous but useless task]."
Me: "Fred can go eat shit! [long rantypants about them wasting a week of my work blah blah fucked up the printing blah not getting paid for this aggravation blah!]
Ellen: "Yeah, I'm not telling him that. Will you do it?"
Me: "Yeah."
A good friend owns the lighting company that lights most of the Mattel booths at Toy Fair, it's been a big contract for him for years.
Oh wow -- good luck, David!
LA is having our version of winter this week. We had spring last week.
This is true. I can vouch. I realize 40 degrees doesn't sound cold to most of you, but imagine dealing with 40 degree weather in a house that has no central heating and NO insulation. Because that's my house - and probably about 40 percent of the housing stock in LA.
It was in the 70s here today (in fact, at 11:30 p.m., it's still 69 degrees), so apparently we have your heat. Sorry.
It was 32 here this morning.
77 here, I opened windows. Totally fucked up.
The representative from New Orleans validates your struggle, Burrell. That is no fun.
13 in Utah. Winter came back. Or finally got here.
Seventy here. I turned on the air conditioner
