the lion and a last minute business meeting (003)

[thelionraines]

I'm expected to be in New York Wednesday morning for a business  meeting on my boss's behalf and at his bequest.

Not exactly a new occurrence, but  normally I get some advance warning. Recently, however, he's 'hired' his daughter as his assistant while Kelly is on maternity leave.

Got a voice mail from Daddy's Little Girl tonight, after I'd

Wouldn't it be lovely if we could pack up all the incompetent assistants in the world and ship them off to some island. Preferably in the arctic.

Charming idea, Is, but entirely ineffective in practice. Besides, it would be considered a crime against humanity to do that these days.

Well not if we handle it correctly. They're not terribly bright - we could simply tell them all that they've won a prize of a free ticket to some exotic tropical locale and then bribe the pilots to head north instead of south. Of course, there are still some flaws with the plan, but I'm just getting started.

I might have put a bit too much thought into this today.

To avoid a mutiny, we'd have to give the good assistants who aren't incompetent the same sort of promise of a tropical vacation and actually deliver on it for them. We'd also have to ensure the economy wouldn't come to a grinding halt for the period of time the assistants were all enjoying paradise. And then there's the matter of raising the capital necessary for bribing people to go along.

Too much work.
