Description:
This is a booklet I made to say thanks and farewell to a previous company I worked for. You may not get the many in-jokes, but I think it is still an entertaining read.

Hey  guys,  

This  has  been  a  fun  four  months.  You  are  all  such  characters,  and  so  many  things  you  guys  said  or  did  was  just  so  priceless,  that  I  had  to  record  it.    

Thanks  for  the  laughs  and  all  the  epic  moments:  you  all  are  completely  awesome,  and  I  was  blessed  to  get  a  chance  to  work  with  you!  Happy  2013  and  Happy  Selling  

Your  favorite  enabler

ABOUT  THE  AUTHOR  

Blake  McDermott  has  been  bringing  sexy  back  since  1987.  His  interest  in  writing  first  began  2008,  when  someone  brainwashed  him  into  thinking  it  was  lucrative.    

Since  then,  Blake  has  published  one  novel.  It  has  been  translated  into  one  language,  and  has  had  readers  from  all  over  unit  960  –  777  Hornby  street.    

When  he  is  not  scanning  bags,  Blake  can  be  seen  walking,  reading,  or  expanding  his  collection  of  ceramic  unicorns.
