Are you for real?

A while back, the company I work for made the decision to let a person go. I wasn't planning on mentioning this, or pointing him out, but he's done that for me.

Recently, we put out a press release, and in the PR field, when you drop an announcement, you also tend to monitor and search for places that the release was picked up, look for stories that were written, etc.

Anyway, during that process, one of our rockstar employees (you need to be a Mediapost member for that link to work... but check out the 4th paragraph) stumbled on to this little gem from our fallen hero:

At DPR I sat next to a guy who ate apples and nuts at his desk all day long. I mean, when he wasn't stuffing his face with some leftovers in a tupperware or a huge sandwich he got from Subway and insisted on bringing back to the office. I mean, this guy ate all day long. He must have eaten four or five apples daily. Plus half a bag of cashews. It was like sitting next to a horse and a squirrel. Made me sick and I had to hold myself back from telling him to knock it off. He was new, I was on my way out, what good would it have done?


Given that I now sit next to the "Squorse" in question... I thought I would provide an update:

He's recently switched over to eating Sour Grapes.
