    A brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee screeches to a halt next to him. The driver, a young man dressed in a Brioni suit, Cerrutti shoes, Ray-Ban glasses, Jovial Swiss wrist watch and a BHS tie

    As a long time consultant, this reminded me of Are you a prostitute or are you a consultant?

      I do NOT miss being yelled at by some middle management Kevin about how I’m charging them $275 per hour to justify their getting whatever crazy shit isn’t in the purchase agreement. I wish I made $275/hour. That’d be amazing.
