W at 6 .. Monday morning, Venti dark
roast in hand, I was wishing I could just inject the caeine right
into my veins. It would be so much more ecient that way. Mon-
day mornings were the absolute worst part of my week. Saul wanted
everyone working on the deal—paralegals, tax and intellectual prop-
erty specialists, Sarah, and me—to meet every Monday morning at 7
.. to discuss the status of the deal. I’d asked Sadir why Saul would
schedule a non-essential meeting for 7 .. when it could just as eas-
ily be held at 3 .. “For the same reason a dog licks his own balls—
because he can,” Sadir had responded, shrugging like the answer was
obvious. e meetings were always merciless and vicious. Personally,
I think he called the meetings because he wanted to start the week
o by publicly castrating all the men in the room and reducing the
women to tears. So, every Monday morning I arrived at work before
most people woke up to prepare for a thirty minute hazing courtesy
of Saul. My only goal was to minimize the bloodbath.
I put my cup of Starbucks’ nest down on my desk, marveling
how quiet it was. Sadir wasn’t in yet, meaning no aggressive pecking
on keys, no frustrated grumbles. I could get used to this. I opped
down on my swivel chair and attempted to mentally prepare for the
day ahead. But my brief moment of serenity came to an abrupt end
when I saw the headline on WSJ.com.
