Spreadsheet Quotes

“Business is supposed to be fun. We're supposed to love what we're doing. Don't let these old folks convince you that business is about spreadsheets and MBA's and metics and all that stuff.

Butterscotch, double peanut, and lemon icebox. So many choices. All of them sounded amazing. I hadn't had Patti's sawdust pie in years. The name had something to do with a lady likely named Patti.
