The Performer |
"The sales manager had her team assembled in the main conference room and
was about to start their monthly meeting. It’s the only time they meet

chose a career in sales over stand-up comedy. When you spend your days doing
all the things that lead to eventual sales there’s something therapeutic
about engaging with your peers in pre-meeting hyperbole." |
