That’s Crazy

          punching, no anything. I was thinking if it was that easy for Giselle to

          get rid of him, she should have done it a couple of years earlier. But
          you know it is always God’s timing and not ours.


               She immediately called me into her office. I was thinking maybe

          it was my turn to take a suspension. Who knew what the new and
          improved Giselle was going to do! At this point, I knew Giselle didn't
          give a damn, but she informed me that I could stay and have 24 shares

          of  something  or  24  shares  of  nothing.  YES!  She  was  determined

          Jerome had to go; he was totally out of control.

          attorney had to convince me to sign the letter. The attorney felt it

          would look better if both of us signed the letter to demonstrate a
          united front. Giselle said she was signing the letter with or without me.
          I agreed to sign the letter.


               Giselle  and  I  both  knew  Jerome's  suspension  and  the  anger

          management letter was just a short-term solution until Jerome could
