| 0:00.0 | Hey, The Bird Show. I was just telling these guys that my friend Susie came down from Philadelphia to visit Stacy and I over the weekend. She was really complaining because she works for the government up there and some like crime. She's a consultant to the crime, some crime specialist unit thing. It's so complicated. I didn't even understand it. And she's got like this MBA at Harvard and she's a real brainiac and a real thinker. In the first year that she was in this job, she loved it. And she's got like this MBA at Harvard, and she's a real brainiac and a real |
| 0:21.7 | thinker. And the first year that she was in this job, she loved it. It was so invigorating for her |
| 0:26.6 | every single day to go into work. But then there was a management change there. And everybody in her |
| 0:31.9 | department pretty much, they need to keep the department, but there's just not enough work to go around and they |
| 0:38.9 | don't want to start losing people. So everybody in her department literally goes in every day |
| 0:42.8 | and nobody does any work at all. I mean, nothing. She's taking Pilates in the middle of the day. |
| 0:48.8 | She's leaving for hours at a time. Nobody questions it. She gets a paycheck every two weeks because |
| 0:53.9 | they don't want to lose |
| 0:54.5 | the department, but she's going out of her mind because she hasn't done a lick of work in |

| 1:14.8 | And anyway, the last one, this man I went into his company, and he said he just bought three companies, |
| 1:20.6 | and I was going to run a mile out of the central big office. |
| 1:23.4 | You know, this big office guy, this fancy furniture with like five offices, but nobody works there. |
| 1:29.8 | So, but he says he's going to have this generated here and generated there. |
| 1:33.3 | Well, what he did, is I think he did buy the companies, and all he just got me to do was just do collections. |
| 1:41.3 | Well, eventually, after I collected everything, I found out he's got a divorce. |
| 1:45.2 | He's moved to Florida, but he still wants me to come in that office and take calls. |
| 1:49.3 | So in the meantime, I have my husband there, and we do it on the conference table. |
| 1:54.2 | We have candlelight dinners. |
| 1:55.8 | Oh, my gosh. |
