I ask because I have a family member (wife of a cousin) who still thinks I was on drugs one night over 50 years ago, largely because I inadvertently gave her good reason to think so. We were all in high school, I was visiting my cousin, and I got a wild streak (as is my very occasional wont), and jumped out of the car (it was stopped) in a park. And ran off. My cousin, playing along, drove off. He later told me his girlfriend (now wife) screamed at him that I was “high as a kite” and they had to go back and get me. If I was on anything, it was drive-in movie candy.*
But, despite that aberration that was (is) perfectly in keeping with my personality, I’m not, and never have been, CEO material. So I’m seriously wondering, what’s up with this guy? And granted this is taken out of context, but: what the hell is he talking about?
If you saw this guy on the street corner, you’d cross the street; mid-block, if necessary.
*To this day, every time I see her, she mentions the incident. I made quite an impression in my youth.
"being pro-meritocracy" Yeah, he's got merit written all over him as he's all over the place. Affluent white guys give each other a lot of credit for being affluent white guys. And CEO jobs.
ReplyDeleteDude does look quite capable of moving fast- well, jerkily- and breaking things, which I am quite often told is the mark of corporate leadership.
