I am back. I was watching the Apprentice last night. I enjoy the show but I see through the Donald. He is great because he is a huckster and promoter extraordinaire. I am not sure about he substance and he does blow a lot of hot air. Anyway, it is apprarent that Summer will be brought into the boardroom and Lenny, the Russian, tells her straight out that in the boardroom to keep her mouth shut if need be.
She is in the boardroom, deservedly so as she did NOTHING. Donald is reaming out Tarek the project manager who is a member of Mensa. I am listening to his arguments and still cannot figure out why he brough both Lee and Lenny into the boardroom. Oh yeah, spite. For such a bright guy he is a bit dim and knows little about power and how to wield it. It was quite enjoyable as a lesson for you kids out there. Never let your emotions, especially anger, rule your decisions. If he had been as smart as he seems to think himself to be, he would have let the slight he felt from Lee pass and strike at him at a later time. Now, he has an enemy (or two) on his own team and will expend energy fighting them off, while they are strong in the knowledge that they can attack at any point and together (the enemy of my enemy is my friend).
Anyway, back to Summer. She was supposed to call some restaurant owners about their promotion at Sam's Club, she made three calls, spoke to one and gave up. If she had just banged the phones for a while, who knows. Well, Trump is reaming Tarek out and is about to lower the boom on him, on the basis of Lenny and Lee's arguments and unwarranted presence in the boardroom, when that idiot Summer interupts him.
There it is. Lenny warned her. It has happened before. She obviously could not read the situation, opens her mouth, pisses Donald off and he has no choice but recall that she was useless in the task and send her packing. Then her send off was full of sour grapes. She cannot figure out what she did "wrong" and that her teammates and all were "stupid". She could not learn from them. Funny, but you can learn something from anyone, you just have to keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut.
I would say lesson learned but obviously not as this not the first time this shit has happened. Well, that is a sign of what is going on in my head (not much, yet a lot) as I can see the larger game here. It is a game of power and how to attain it or at least be near the seat of it. Fun stuff, indeed. Where is Iago when you need him? I need him to fetch me a drink. Ciao!
