Hello. My name's Pierre Abrams, guest blogger. People often describe me as an incredibly handsome and trim black and white cat with amazing green eyes. But-- I am pretty modest, so I'll skip the description. Back when I was CEO of Kinko's, in the cush corner office overlooking North Dallas, I was little Isa's neighbor. In fact-- my girlfriend Brigitte once dated Isa's brother, Sammie. And Isa's "sissy", Lindsay, has fed me a few times when my mom took a "Pierre sabbatical". How ridiculous. I don't need someone to feed me. I am a CEO! And--I know when my mom leaves, she just wants to get away from me and I consider it quite rude of her.
Anyway, I wanted to write because other cats could learn from me. I am the Horatio Alger of cats. Or-- the Donald Trump of cats, if you will. But my fur looks a lot better than that nasty old nest of hair The Donald has. Yuck. By the way, I am named Pierre for my stylish French-ish goatee. C'est tres chic!
A little about me: I clawed my way to the top at Kinko's, only to be struck down when new ownership (FedEx) decided cats apparently weren't good enough for them. I was fired. Gone were the limo rides to work, reading the WSJ (turning the pages with paws is tough) and watching Bloomberg. No more executive litter box, expense account sushi business lunches or my execu-cat assistant.
After the bad news, I slept a lot. For several months. Nearly 24 hours a day. Then, I got a call from my lawyer that I had won a class action suit (Kinko's had fired other cats, as well.) against now FedEx-Kinko's. I was reinstated as CEO--- WITH back pay. But my job seemed a farce. People looked down on me! As if I didn't belong.
So-- I went out on my own to found a new delivery company called Pidge-Widge.It's an alternative to FedEx for shipping nationwide. I'll tell you more about it another time, but let's just say I can't get near the workers, as they fear for their lives. I work from home, nocturnally, so my mom and new dad aren't even aware that I have a job, let alone that I am a CEO! Genius! I don't want to help pay the mortgage of this new house they bought.
My message to all the cats out there today is that, You Can Do It! Don't let your mom or dad tell you you're just a housecat! Get out there and make a name for yourself. Be careful crossing the street and stay away from dogs, unless they are really, really little, like Isa. She's scared of EVERYTHING.
I've got to run. Big conference call I have to take. Thanks for taking time from your "busy" day to read my blog.
next time, maybe some info about my hot taupe-furred, blue-eyed girlfriend, Brigitte. I try to bite her privates all the time. I don't see why I'm not getting anywhere. But--more on that--LATER.
FYI: attached is my most recent Pidge-Widge corporate headshot.
Sincerely,
Pierre Abrams
CEO and Founder
