This is why I never cottoned to "Mad Men" - I'd lived it, didn't like it, I'll pass.Eve Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015761600962360110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-65004565221187334272019-07-25T23:31:18.116-04:002019-07-25T23:31:18.116-04:00By happenstance, my worst (and my last) boss was n...By happenstance, my worst (and my last) boss was named Dick. A history would take too long, but after I left, I reached a point where I refused to take his phone calls, which undoubtedly frosted him. Supremely rude and arrogant, he managed to get himself kicked out of company by telling the president he needed to replace that c*** of a receptionist… not realizing she was the man's wife.<br /><br />After making his millions (truly), he relocacted to Vegas where he fell in with shady types who managed to scam him out of his fortune. When I learned he died a relatively young broke and broken man, I came close to feeling sorry for him. As terrible a person as he was, no one deserved utter destruction, not even if he deserved it.Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-10857397590893544722019-07-25T23:16:24.031-04:002019-07-25T23:16:24.031-04:00Listen pal, any friend of Eve's is a friend of...Listen pal, any friend of Eve's is a friend of ours, know wadImean?
