And his tomatoes. I was the only manager with the guts to do a daily sweep of her office, reacquiring that which had wandered from my desk to hers.

The job was, honestly, incredible. If you’re into knowing every aspect of the motion picture business (production, marketing, distribution) — from a business perspective. And royalty accounting — any wonder why I find it so endearing…reminds me of the good old days! I was lucky that my klepto boss was really generous with knowledge. Particpations reporting requires more of an ability to read and comprehend than an ability to add, so I really did luck into the right job.

But now I’m happily “retired”. Which explains why I’ve been working almost full-time for them for the past few months. My tomato-less friend said, “It’ll be easy.” And I fell for it. So far I’ve resisted all suggestions that I get a “temporary” employee ID card. That would be like admitting defeat….
