I just took a position as an undercover reporter.  No, the hiring company isn’t aware of my role, nor is my employer.  In fact I didn’t know what my true role was until I started posting this blog entry when I had nothing else on my mind to post about.  So, I’m conjuring up a tale, and I’m going to run with it for a while and see if it leads anywhere.

I’ll be taking copious notes on a nightly basis, and from that material I hope to uncover the true underpinnings of how corporate America truly operates.  I know others such as Michael Moore, and the Super Size Me guy have done similar.  But, I’m going to be different.  For one, I’m not them.  Hence an immediate difference.  The differences will become more apparent as I start distinguishing myself (at least in my own eyes and mind).  My notes with either be the basis of periodic blog entries or, if they’re really good I will horde them and compile a national best seller whilst retaining movie rights and promotional/gift royalties.  I have a sneaking suspicion that the action figures are going to be totally awesome.  This could be the must-have holiday gift item for the 2009 season.  Start pre-ordering now.  As soon as I set up my Swiss Bank Account, I will post the links on a website (URL to be determined) so you can place your orders today for guaranteed delivery by December 15, 2009.  All packages will be mailed in unmarked plain brown wrapping so as not to ruin the surprise for all of your little boys and girls.  This item will not be appropriate for Dogs, Cats, and other extre-terrestrial beings.

If you’re interested in pre-ordering a copy of the first printing, I’m afraid you’re going to have to wait a wee bit longer.  As mentioned, I don’t have the routing number yet for my Swiss Bank Account…  Nor do I have the account set up yet.  And, there’s that minor little detail that a) I haven’t even written a thing yet, nor b) I haven’t been picked up by a Publisher yet.  Why they’re waiting I have no idea.  In a few months they’ll be kicking each other for not moving sooner.  I can’t wait to watch that!

Stay tuned!  The fun is just about to begin.
