That's a hell of a question, and you ought to know better.

Hi Lodge. Busy day, but then again, aren't they all? No boss, or boss's boss in today. I'm getting a lot done without either here to bother me.
Heading outo f the office last night I got a call from my cousin. He just got his MBA from MIT Sloan and has been looking for a job. This really cool, different and exciting opportunity was presented to him working with a NASCAR driver. Something about a private equity fund to sponsor an upcoming driver, etc. It's something brand new and there are some heavy hitters behind this. While the actual salary is less, they're offering him 5% equity in any deal/sponsorship he comes up with. He also has to move to Charlotte, NC, at least at first. They were going to give him a 1-year contract. I think it's a very cool opportunity for him as does pretty much everyone he's been in contact with. Except for his parents, mostly his mother. Who is my aunt/godmother. She is always very negative and thinks this Board of Directors, who sought him out and made this offer, are taking advantage of him because they all have gobs of money. The job does not have benefits either. It really threw him for a loop and he needed to talk it out. He was offered a position here in Boston at a consulting firm making good money but nothing that will help him get to the next level.
He is taking the NASCAR opportunity. He nogitated a little more money but now it's a 9-month deal. I want to go yell at his mother for making him feel like he's not doing the right thing. I have a few ideas as to why she is acting this way but she tends to have a persecution complex about every little thing. He's 30 years old, very smart and a good head on his shoulders and I think this could be such a cool thing and lucrative and she's making him feel like crap for turning down a secure position. If it doesn't work out after 9 months, he comes home with great network contacts and an interesting story to tell that will make him a more appealing candidate for future jobs.
I was glad I was able to talk to him about it. He wanted to know he had some family support. I can't wait to see what he does with this.

But your parents did back in the day. Do you have a checking account? Any money in it?
And the checks I don't write!

For a second I thought I was in the wrong thread. How many times have you asked this question?

RFalph has a man crush, that's the only logical answer to his continued answering of Mr. Wilson's emails. Either that or he's secretly Dennis the Menace.For a second I thought I was in the wrong thread. How many times have you asked this question?

Quite a few, I suspect.

The last one makes more sense, even though, IIRC, the Mr. Wilson in the comic is George.

If I end up having to work this weekend instead of going up north like I've planned since the beginning of August, I am going to be livid

This sounds like an amazing opportunity! Good for him jumping aboard it.

Sounds like a great opportunity, Scarlet! My cousin, once he left the Navy, got a job on some racing team (not NASCAR, I don't think, it's a smaller circuit) and he loves it (works with the engines).
On pace to hit OT sometime early afternoon tomorrow. Can't wait for the weekend.
