Dear Liza, Dear Liza
Just got back to my desk and saw on the caller ID that the HR manager tried to call me. He also sent an e-mail: “call me.” I called and he said that the director of finance needs to see me and asked if the HR manager could track me down. I went back to the director of finance’s office and she said that she gave an envelope to my boss for me. Which he had given me at the start of the meeting I was in when the HR manager tried to call me.
I guess I should be thankful that at no point were ponies engaged in the delivery of my message.
![Charles Grandison Finney
“The structure of [Finney’s] mind is altogether peculiar. The logical faculty is developed in an unusual degree, and hence there is a tendency to argument in excess. He reasons on and to the extreme of redundancy, often laboring to explain that which requires no further explanation, and needs no further proof. He is, moreover, strongly addicted to the metaphysical and analytical, and hence whatever he touches becomes more or less arrayed in a dialectical costume. These peculiarities might, at first sight, seem somewhat to unfit him for pulpit labor among the million; but it is otherwise: he succeeds either through or in spite of them.”
— John Campbell, 1851, quoted in G. Frederick Wright, “A Biography of Charles Grandison Finney,” 1891](http://media.tumblr.com/oA6Wb8xjh92wellxQJ2pnJvJ_400.jpg)
