@VNudnik @alt_w_v_g Not “a” rapist. “The” rapist. SNL joke. Therapist.

Let my analyst sit in on the investment committee call today
He asked three times
I said no twice
He promised complete silence and said he'd hide in the corner
He showed up anyway
Sat in the corner
Legal pad on his knee
Third iced coffee in his hand
I gave him three rules
Do not speak
Do not breathe loudly
Do not make eye contact with anyone on the screen
He nodded
The call started
Our PE sponsor opened with "walk us through the bridge"
I walked them through the bridge
The analyst was writing so fast his pen was shaking
The operating partner said "what's driving the miss in Q1"
I said "timing on two projects that pushed to Q2"
The analyst nodded
I told him not to do that
He mouthed "sorry sir"
The MD asked about headcount
I said "we're addressing it"
The analyst's pen stopped
First time all call
He looked at me
I didn't look back
The MD said "how many"
I said "enough to close the gap"
The pen started again
Slower this time
The MD asked where we land on adjusted EBITDA after the changes
I said the number
The pen broke
He switched to a backup pen
He brought a backup pen
I could hear it scratching from across the room
He underlined something four times
Call ended in 38 minutes
He stood up
Said "thank you sir" and walked out
Accidentally left his notebook on the floor
I opened it
Page one
Three bullet points
- People costs bad
- EBITDA good
- Adjusted EBITDA better
That was it
38 minutes of discussion
Six executives on the call
Summarized in eight words
More accurate than most board decks I've read
I have four meetings tomorrow morning that aren't on anyone's calendar yet
The analyst doesn't know that
But he summarized it perfectly
This kid might be ready for his second adjective

@Strandjunker It wasn’t a joke. The question was stupid and the President gave him a good example of a surprise attack. It’s history. Deal with it.

@Maga4liberty Have you asked if Omar should continue wearing her hijab?

@PoliticalStacy Gee, I’ll bet beating on an infant makes him feel like a real man.

@alt_w_v_g Gotta be honest…. When you said your “analyst” I thought you had your therapist sitting in🤣

@wakeupusa Where was your outrage when the Black Panthers stood outside Philadelphia voting places?

@joncoopertweets How uncomfortable the Japanese PM and her entourage would have felt. How could he joke with such a very sensitive topic whose history holds memories of anguish and pain

@joncoopertweets Really? It was a stupid question and President Trump’s answer was a good example. Are you trying to rewrite history?

@PattyMurray Really? And yet it was recently reported in Philadelphia newspapers that an illegal voted FIVE TIMES in elections.
