From the Devil's Desk

Devil here! How are y'all doing today? I've been in the corporate world for 15 years, similar to Miss Opportunity. My views are a little more realistic - I won't say pessimistic since reality is what it is (as I see it). You can interpret my views on some things as negative or the opposite to that of Miss Opportunity, but that is how you interpret that facts as I give them to you. I tend to be more cautious.


When I hear things I think are 'too good to be true' or just don't make sense I turn into a Tasmanian Devil. My head starts to spin and my mouth spews forth faster than any human can interpret what I am saying.


As you, the readers, or Miss Opportunity puts ideas out for discussion, I will give you my view as an EX-corporate gerbil. Sure, the money was great, but the rest of the experience was less than inspiring. I now run my own business. I treat my employees like they are as valuable as gold. I know I can't do it without them. Will I always be that way once I grow bigger and bigger? Only time will tell. I think I will.

In conclusion, I will say something positive about big business. We saved enough money to be able to allow me to LEAVE the gerbil cage and strike out on my own.

By the way...Thanks for leaving me in the Gerbil Cage, as you call it! Actually, being Miss Opportunity, there are days when I thrive on Corporate life. I feel great when I believe I'm on the right track toward making a difference. If only there were more of those days. But until you start cleaning up (literally), I'll stay on the wheel...
