Fast Paced Enterprises
WOOOOOOOOOSSSSSHHHH!!!
Dear Sir:
Thank you for your recent visit to Fast Paced Enterprises. There are going to be some mighty big changes in this neck of the woods. Hey buddy, a consultant, like you is worth his weight in gold. You’ll be glad to know that we have already removed the steel-plate door from the executive suite. Ms. Grouse has taken your lying down class and is altogether less like a Rottweiler.

You were so right about being available to my trembling minions. There I go again: I mean employees. Gotta get the language right, huh! I am treating them like human beings. Well, of course, as you would say, they are human beings. You know I haven’t barked at anyone in a week!

I am making progress with that feet-up-on-the-desk thing you were showing me. I still have to think about whether it is left ankle over right, or the other way around, but I slow down and think about it and the solution comes to me.

Yes sir, this company is gonna change. We’re puttin’ some lipstick on this pig, run it up the flagpole and see if it flies. And thanks for the Relax-O-Meter.

Sincerely,

Billy Belcher Jr.
President
FPE USA
