Being Pimped Out

Then why ask us for our opinions? You already knew what you were going to accept and what you weren’t.
[Harry Benson] “My money is my money as far as I’m concerned.”
And that is why you will always have to make your living off all your own efforts, as no one is going to refer you more than once.
In situations where a monetary commission would be tacky or inappropriate, I always send a bottle of good wine or a gift certificate to a good restaurant, etc.
Sorry to be hard, but in a service business such as we are in, losing sight of the value of your “bird dogs” is not only short-sighted, it is going to cost you far more than you will imagine.

Harry, you might want to look at forming your own operation, then. I think I know the perfect partner for you, his name’s Aaron…

Yes, I agree Mark, Harry and Aaron would make an ideal team. In fact, maybe they are better suited as a couple.

I’m sorry, Aaron; I went for the cheap laugh at your expense. I’m weak. We may poke fun, but if you learn from the old mistakes and grow from the process, there’s no shame in that. So you keep at it, and things will turn around.

Come on Mark, cut it out. Just keep repeating the line from the movie LOVE STORY, “Being in love means never having to say you’re sorry.”

No, nobody apologizes to Bob.
Well, at least nobody really means it if they do.
Bob wouldn’t want it any other way.
After all, he’d have to drive to your house and slap you around or something, if you tried.
