Day 51 of my captivity
Every damn day:
My Spicer: I need your opinion.
Me: I pick X. Here’s why. (Insert long list of experiences, and what we’ve tried that hasn’t worked.)
Spicey: We are going to do the complete opposite of what you picked.
Me: Why?
Spicey: I promised Bannon. I was not tasked with knowing why.
Me: I was in your position before. And now I’m going to have to be the one to execute certain failure after you declare it so. Does this save money? Make 10% more? If so, happy to do it that way. If not, it costs man hours. And lots of them. Do you purposely pick the exact thing I advise against?
Spicey: Takes 90-minute lunch.
