There are times when the information flow in my brain is unstoppable. Knowledge leaks out and it's all I can do to get it transcribed before it disappears forever. When those moments occur, I lock myself into my padded room and start writing. It may take up to three days before I emerge from the now graffitied room, but I do so with a wealth of new markets and products for AcMo. Once I couldn't emerge for two weeks, but that wasn't normal. The staff always take great care of me and make sure I stay in my room. I am not very strong, but I am cunning. I have not yet encountered a restraint that could hold me. That's why the staff is there to help keep me focused on my note taking and not trying to escape.
When luck is on my side a few snippets from my scribbles are relevant to business growth and profit expansion. The others are deep thoughts that I can't utilize for profit growth so I have to discard them. Once I've compiled the ideas with the greatest profit potential, I leave detailed notes for my staff with a simple instruction: make it work. And they do, or they get transferred to the Iowa office.
The Iowa office is open three days every week, but the employees are required to show up every day. It is not a nice place to work. I am certain the building is cursed. I've been afraid to even look at the building since AcMo acquired it. We would sell it, but we can't get anyone except the employees to go near it. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about that office.
Enough about AcMo's cursed Iowa facility. This post is supposed to be detailing some of the exciting new revenue streams I discovered during my most recent padded room trip. I've been stuck in the worst kind of meetings all day today, and I am running out of time before lights out. I can only detail a few of my breakthroughs in the time I have remaining.
We are considering starting our own postal service to compete against the US Postal Service. AcMo's service would be far more efficient and we would not put our employees at risk by forcing them to deliver mail in any weather. There are some regulatory loopholes we need to better understand before we can determine if the service can compete with the existing unprofitable entity.
If you heard about problems with an International shipping company during the end of 2013 and the holidays, it wasn't us, but we may know some people who know some people who were involved. That misstep might have been the opening AcMo needed to get into the package shipping business. We would draw the line on shipping contraband and domesticated wombats though. We're a professional organization, and our actions need to portray us in a professional manner. We gave up on no pants Fridays as a result of grumblings that it was demeaning, unnerving and unprofessional. Now that I've mentioned it, I think I may have forgotten to tell a few of the employees we aren't doing that any longer. I'll know for sure tomorrow.
I've heard the police may finally be ready to release our party bus back to us. I have already lined up a new role for the bus in our operations. It will require transporting it to San Francisco, and a subtle repaint before I can make it work for us. I'll explain the plan for the bus in greater detail later. I see someone coming, and I'm not supposed to be on the computer after dark. I don't want to get another reprimand for my permanent file.
