Do you remember Gov Spitzer in the driver's license controversy? The fascinating thing was that the Gov was not moved by popular opinion; he insisted that he was right even when the people thought he was very wrong.
The Gov is very smart, very accomplished and was very powerful. In our society, he was like a '"chief."
Powerful, smart, accomplished people ("chiefs") are tempted to believe that they should get what they want.
In primitive times, the chiefs got the young women. (Think of Sampson and King David.)
The Gov wanted the "spoils" of his position: he already had the money, he already had the power.
The Gov is sorry that he got caught and hurt his family; the Gov is not sorry that he lavished money on young women in exchange for sexual favors. The Gov believes that he has earned his position as chief, and he should get what he wants.
In our world we have other chiefs who do what they want to do without paying a Spitzer like penalty. Think of A Rod and his stripper, think of Kobe and his hotel clerk, think of Jack Welch and his journelist, think of Jack Nichelson and everyone.
On the other hand, not every "super chief" has demanded personal wealth and young women. Mao surrounded himself with luxury and young women. But, Hitler was loyal to Eva and Stalin was a shy family man when he was not supervising the Red Terror.

LOL!
isn't it amazing how stupid some of these politicians are? the guy made a name for himself by busting up rings like this and he thinks he's not going to get caught???
Call to switchboard: "I know that Kathy has probably left by now for the big job at X company, but I really need to reach her. May I have her forwarding address?"
Lets play Jeopardy:
The category is "Politicians."
The answer is "GoDaddy."
The correct question: What words were picked up by the government listening device in Governor Spitzer's hotel room?

thanks and please remember, I'm asking for a good reference...no damning with faint praise.
yes, it does have a slimy ring to it but hey, if they pay me enough, what do I care! seriously, it did give me pause, but i figure i'll give it a shot and see if anything comes from submitting my resume. who knows, maybe they actually have a lawyer in the office I can bounce things off of.
Your third option is the best. LOL!
btw - Rich G called me for Randy Reed's email so he's on the case.
Please give both numbers if it helps. I will be happy to give a reference.
Don't you think that "GoDaddy" is an unfortunate name for a business? I am not sure exactly what is wrong with it but it has a slimy ring.
Maybe it would actually be good if someone overheard you turning down some good jobs because you felt such loyalty to your employer. "I don't care how much money you toss at me, etc. etc."
Here is another good one: In a loud voice say "thanks, that is an attractive offer. By the way, do you require a candidate to pass a drug test?"
How about: "thanks, that is a terrific offer. What did you say? Oh, no, besides me there is no one at this place worth employing."

Good Morning,
I'd like to give your names as references for a job i've applied for with GoDaddy, providing their favorable, of course. Ok to give your cell numbers? I don't know if I'll hear from them, but I'd like to have all my ducks in a row. Apologies for the impersonal communication, but it's very difficult to have a private conversation at my desk and I'd like to keep this quiet.
Thanks!
KC
