"Trust no one"

(Yes, I love my cat...)
"Trust no one." These are words from my boss, Mr. Grossman, at 9:00am on a Tuesday morning. Christian, my co-worker and I are called into his office. He starts with a lecture, or a "little story" as he says. He talks about the "business" and how everyone one is out to get you and screw you over...
Coupled by this lecture on paranoia, we sit in office that faces the whole of Broadway; not that you could see it. His shades are drawn, he doesn't like the sun light. Our chairs face away from the window and their is only a small light on his desk that reflect off my glasses.
He is wearing all black, black Armani suit, black Etro shirt, black socks, and black Tod's shoes. The man in black, with OCD.
He is trying to assure Christian and I that even though this business is full of scoundrels (eh, hem, kettle.calling.black) that we are in luck because he is the countries most successful concert producer and we in turn will one day be too....um, because of him, he never lets us forget that, because of him, we will be successful, and learn not to trust people...Weird.

My night was much better. I met up with Sophie, Matt, and by coincidence Adam at the Pub across the street from my house. I love this Pub, if only because it is called "The Fat Black Pussy Cat." Dennis, a pub regular, (old skool Brooklyn Italian, very Joe Pesci) told us a couple of jokes (he literally says "Bada Bing, Bada Boom); then Sophie and I swapped office gossip stories, (her boss is just extravagant as mine, but a little more suave). Amanda (she has the most gorgeous head of read hair!) joined us and we all headed to Joshua and Pants' house in Soho. Joshua and Pants (her real name is Sandra, but got the nickname "Pants" from Joshua, because apparently she wears the pants in the relationship. Love it). They are both brillant photographers, who are newly engaged. Their house always becomes an imprompt to party, which they always love and welcome. I have enlisted their services to work together on creative projects, and they have enlisted by services to help with the business side of their, well, business...if you get a chance check out Joshua's work Beso.
