Anyone else feel like Monica was never believable as a #1 consultant?

I was a consultant doing kind of the same thing. Not all of us are/were hard drinking, drug using, sociopathic asshats. For example, I'm not a sociopath and I don't use drugs.

We really cared about our clients. At least until they signed the eight figue contracts. Then they were somebody elses problem.

But when I was the project manager it was the fault of those hd, du, s ah who set me up to fail.

So yes, she's believable. This sometimes needs the "insider joke" kind of viewpoint.

All they have done is up side the main course by showing the dessert cart on the way in. The variables are easy to enumerate and while the costs associated with the various risks are high the probablites are low and the remidiation expenses are almost nil. But at the very least they threw in some tasty all natural breast meat in with the veggies to make the occasionally bland episode seem delish.

See, all it takes is a leaseback when you sell your soul. Nobody needs to know the transsaction has even taken place. And it leaves you Saturday afternoons free since you don't need that pesky confession and Sunday mornings are all about show. You don't even have to sing (you didn't bother getting the singing voice thown in) and the wine is crap anyway.

Dogbert has a name for consultants. Insultsnts.

She'd be believable as a consultant for brothels.

Yep, she's believable. I worked at a head hunting firm back in the early '90s, and the stories I could tell would make your head spin. It's utterly unbelievable what people do in a public washroom before walking in to see a client in the biggest meeting of their lives; or into court, or...and I'm not just talking recruiter consultants. This goes for lawyers, bankers, you name it, suits with offices on the highest floors of the glitziest glass towers downtown.

These personality-types live right on the edge. The thrill, the pressure, the money, the feast/famine cycle...so many guys I knew are now dead, or in jail, people who walked down the street in the most expensive suits or drove down the street in the most expensive cars one day, and were showing up cap in hand in interviews for jobs at rival firms the next day after their firms went bankrupt.
