The "Investor"

Dear Fellow Blog Followers,


Kevin was leaving the office the other day and encountered a stranger in the elevator. With the two of them in this compact space, a conversation began.

The stranger, obviously checking out Kevin, asked if he was an "investor" as Kevin was dressed in his immaculate business attire minus the tie he would have normally worn in Calgary.  Not being an "investor" brought further curiosity to the stranger...

"Well, who do you work for", asked the stranger.  Kevin explained that he worked for XYZ company in partnership with ABC Company.  The stranger then asked if he was British and Kevin proudly said that he was Canadian..

"Oh, that's good.  We like Canadians", said the stranger who was casually dressed in a plaid button shirt, khaki pants, casual shoes, and wore a ball cap that was clearly too small for his head..

After a proper introduction of names, this "stranger" turned out to be the CEO of ABC Company - dressed like a fisherman!  The ABC Company is up for sale, hence, Kevin being mistaken a possible investor.  The CEO said that Kevin was dressed too nicely to be an ABC Company employee (keep 'em guessing Kevin...)..

They shared discussions of hockey... The Dallas Stars versus the Edmonton Oilers was the most recent game (which Kevin was fortunate enough to attend and sat in the ABC Company Box Seats - spoiled brat), and the CEO told Kevin to call his Executive Assistance to request any other games he wished to attend.  Dallas Stars versus Calgary Flames is in mid-March and there is a good possibility Kevin will be able to go and sit in the Box Seats yet again.  Life is rough for Kevin....









Hockey Anyone !!!
