I liked the thing about the bathroom. That really made me laugh and the specific lighting. The best thing is that I can see it actually happening. Great job and good luck in the contest

I can assure you, this really does happen, but not usually all with one employee. Thank.

I love the tongue in cheek feel of this. Sounds like Harvey got his training from the mob. Every line that you wrote gave me the feeling that Cobalt industries is quite pleased with losing this guy. Really fun to read. Great job. Good luck in the contest. Gretchen

Jeffrey Stone is telling it as it is, designer bathroom, entertaining fund, lots of specific requirements. What a catch of a guy with a big time pay package! Does he have his own parking spot with his name on it? Maybe, some executives that get a $17 million dollar package may apply like a CEO of a food company. Wow, great imagination and photo of the shark. Have fun in the contest Spiritual Echo! I'm sure you will beat the big boys! flylikeaneagle

Selfish bitch that I am, I'd like to beat them all, regardless of the gender. LOL. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
Comment from Dean Kuch
You're just a contest machine lately, aren't you, Ingrid? LOL...
Yeah. I have little use for worthless committees myself, but I won't go into that here. Ahem...
After reading the lines pertaining to Harvey's decisive decision making processes and his affinity for affirmative and immediate action, I kinda saw it coming but still laughed my assets off. Fearsome, leather-clad men from the Manson Inc., heh-heh. That's rich!
Hilarious stuff, Ingrid. I think you've got a winner here! ~Dean

Need the cash and the inspiration. The prompts are the easy way out to let off writer's brain farts and shore up my fictitious money. This was for fun.
-
Yeah, but if you lose perpetually as I've been doing lately, you simply throw your hard-earned funny money right out the window.
:(
-
Probably because you've been writing a lot of poetry and you know...psst...some of those verse-mongers don't relate unless the poem has bluebirds and sunsets in the poetry.
-
U-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h (that's me, sucking in lungfuls of air, Ingrid), no! You have to be kidding? Bluebirds and sunsets over pertinent topics like abuse, terrorism and other issues that can have a real impact on our daily lives? No way, shut the door! Heh-heh...
-
If you sponsored a prompt and asked for essays in prose or verse, you'd get a lot of artificial beauty and many sighs, among the entrants.

Ingrid, you are such a fantastic writer and this proves it hands down. I just stand in complete awe. How wonderfully a reference letter truly having a diplomatic feel to it in the sense of uhhuh,,, take this so called prize if you dare. So many wonderful lines and references to this shark. You are brilliant. I don't know what I would do if I received a reference letter like this, other than just laugh and offer the one who wrote the reference letter a job!!!

Thanks, just plain fun. how's your granddaugter?
-
thank you for asking. She is doing beautifully. We had another scare a few days ago. But all is well. I guess we will always be on guard with her.
-
She had another surgery around Christmas didn't she? any good news, less tumours?
-
A good memory. She had one around the 6th of November. It was her third in a year. Sarah had what you call an AVM..arteriorveinousmalformation. It is more common than you know. It can be in any major organ, it just happened to be in Sarah's brain. These AVMs are ticking time bombs and depending where can be abruptly fatal. Bascially, it is where the artery and vein fail to form capillaries between the two routes. Consequently, the vein and the artery share a connection point or a thin wall. In time, as one grows and the vessel wall weakens due to opposing hhg.. or pressure, it blows.. almost like an aneurysm or like a blow out in your tire. Scarey stuff for sure. So if a child complains of a headache, you do not take it lightly. and if it gets progressively worse over a few minutes, it is a red flag, Better err on the side of caution and be called over obsessive or paranoid than to ignore. Can mean the difference between life and death.

I would venture to say there has never been another one like this reference letter. Harvey just wear a red 'S" on his undershirt, even though the original Superman only worked in an off-the-rack suit at a grubby desk in a newsroom in his regular job. Great work.

Had fun dredging up all my corporate lingo. Thanks.
Comment from Jay Squires
OMG, Ingrid, this had me roaring throughout.
I saw it coming with the line, "Harvey believes in decisive action and has little patience for committees who create make-work projects and dawdle in endless meetings." And it built from that. I had to stop to wipe my eyes once during the reading.
This is some funny stuff, Ingrid!

It was--just plain fun. A diversions, laughing while I was writing. Like my grandson's report card that came two days ago. Every teacher...Aiden is encouraged to complete his assignments...Aiden is encouraged to review his notes before a test...Assisting Aiden oversee his organizational skills would improve his performance,
While everyone else was clucking over the two B's he got, as if it was the Nobel prize, I yelled, 'What the hell does this mean you're not doing your homework and you're not studying for tests?'
'Where does it say that, Grandma? It doesn't say that on my report card."
Followed by, " If you think I'm going to continue to pay for a tutor each week with this kind of nonsense..."
Jay, I really am such a bitch.

You are a fun-fun-funny bitch, Ingrid!

I like it when I have adjectives, but when I'm not fun, I can just be a noun.

Damn, woman, you are on a roll. This is awesome and I just love the subtle suggestions that this guy while a catch, does have some odd peculiarities. Absolutely great work with this and a dynamite entry for this contest, as I always say, I sincerely wish you all the best.
