It's going down now

Feb 03, 2009 19:37

As I warned you earlier today, I won’t be home for dinner. At the rate things are going, I might not be home for breakfast. Don’t wait up. And don’t call the office. We’re closing down the phones and locking the doors right now, and the general meeting begins in a few minutes. All staff on deck. It’s going down TONIGHT. Blood will flow ( Read more... )

I've been trying to reply to this since you first posted it and each time I've deleted what I've written. I guess I really didn't understand the severity of the situation ( ... )

Taking a break, so despite my better judgment, I checked here for your response. Sorry I did.

Try a bit harder to see things clearly without emotion. Selling your car is not practical - think it through, J.

If you feel this strongly about holding onto the gallery (I don't agree but this is not the time/place for that discussion), then it must be the apartment.

Justin, it MIGHT come down to both. Prepare yourself. Most of the country is sucking it up, so do your best to do the same.

By the way, it was Manuel's main job to fetch lattes. Not sure how I am going to deal with that loss. Ted suggested that I try the staff coffee maker. I nearly decked him. Times are hard, but not THAT hard.

Most of the staff are now gone. Just Ted and I still mulling over figures and projections. Don't wait up.

I see you made it home. I didn't hear you come in. I also see you didn't set the alarm, so I'm going to let you sleep. At least a little bit.

I will try to be less emotional. It's hard when I'd rather give up my car and keep the apartment, but I understand what you're saying.

And yes, the apartment must go before the gallery. The apartment costs more too, or at least it does when I'm making a few sales. Look, I'll get some other people in there, artists, see if I can generate more for the overhead.

I don't want to just suck it up, Brian. But I'll try. Okay?

Sounds like Manuel fetched more than lattes.
