A Typical Miguel Contreras Response
Last night I tried a brain trick
that usually produces good results for me; I asked my brain to think about a difficult
question I was struggling with and to provide me a solution when I woke-up the
next morning. However, inconsistent with
my experience I did not received my answer and here is what happened while I
was asleep.
Me: I dreamt (well I think I was still asleep) I
woke up and went downstairs to make coffee when suddenly I saw Miguel sitting
in my kitchen. Stunned, I asked Miguel why
was he in my kitchen.
Miguel: Hey Stevarino, I am not sure why I am here. All I know is that I received a direct order from
the Boss to meet you today. By the way,
can I have some coffee?
Me: Sure, I think I remember
how you take it. Here you go.
Miguel: Mmmm! Goddamn (oops sorry Boss), Stevarino! This is some serious
gourmet shit! Usually, I would be happy
with some freeze-dried Taster's Choice, but you spring this serious gourmet shit
on me! What flavor is this? Me: Knock it off, Miguel. I know how good my coffee is. I am the one who buys it. Anyway, those lines about the gourmet coffee are from the movie Pulp Fiction and when Jules says them to Jimmie it is a lot funnier.
Miguel: Oh, I thought I heard those lines
before. Anyway, what is up with
you? And, please if you have a problem do
not make your problem my problem.
Me: It is not really a problem Miguel, but more
of a question. And, why do you always tell
me “don’t make your problem my problem?’
Cellphone music tone of the theme song
from the movie Godfather suddenly goes off . .
Miguel: Hello.
Yes, yes, okay I will be right there.
Sorry Stevarino, I have to leave.
I have a full day of arbitrations and I am fighting to get some people
into paradise and not the other place. And,
some of the cases are simply losers but politically important for the
Boss.
Me: Okay Miguel be well.
Then I woke up
with no solution. Or, was there a message somewhere in there that I did not
get?
