6:33 p.m. ET: Taking a self-portrait earlier tonight, while looking out the window from seat 32A of a Boeing 757 bound for Washington, D.C.

Jim, you realize that they webcast shareholder meetings these days, don't you?

ReplyDeleteJim, how the hell do you not ever lose your "cheaters?" In the short period of time I've seen yours posted in various pictures here, I bet my husband has lost or mangled six pair.
Must be the little neck strap thingy.

ReplyDeleteI sure hope you don't wear those glasses to the meeting.
ReplyDeleteJim:
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you publish your complete list of questions you plan to ask so we can hold you accountable for doing so when we watch the webcast?
Geez, you must feel like Robin Hood, huh? It's all so very special. The execs must just be quaking in their handmade shoes! Jim's coming! Oh no! Jim's coming! All very silly and overly dramatic, like you're the first shareholder to have a beef with the Company. Would feel more adult if you just went to the meeting and asked some questions without trying to turn it into a big deal. It's not.
ReplyDelete9:17 pm. You read my mind -- sort of. But I'll be doing it to hold management accountable.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jim! You will be speaking for those of us who feel we can't risk it-- and those who just don't have the right words to challenge the powers that be.

ReplyDeleteJim thinks it's a big deal, though. That's why he's a butt pirate.
ReplyDeleteThe specs are precious.
ReplyDeleteYa just jumped the shark with this post.
Cheers, bye.
Jim,
ReplyDeleteWe know what you look like. Unless Sparky needs to add pics to his collection or can't bear you're gone we don't need to see your ``thiinking man on plane'' or ``worried about time in a cab'' shots.'' Kinda lends creadence to an egoist, eh? Oh, and by the way, you'll likely get one question at the meeting, so it better be a good one.....I'm sure they're prepared for anything you throw at them.

Then for the love of everything holy and not holy, make it count. don't ask stupid, petty questions about CEO compensation or legal perks. Ask some serious, hold them accountable questions.

Another great post.
Jim, seriously, why don't you quit while you're hopelessly behind? Every day you look like more of a moron.
Just move on to something else.
LOL, from the trolling, it sure looks like corporate is VERY nervous about Jim's trip. Why else would anyone waste his time reading this blog and wetting himself over everything Jim posts?
ReplyDeleteThe objective spectator who thought Jim was a jerk would just move on.
Hey 7:28: I'm not at/from corporate, but I can assure you they're not worried.....How come you think every commenter you don't like thinks Jim is a jerk?
ReplyDeleteBased on what?
You don't have to think someone's a jerk to comment on the uselessness of his very public forray......
I bet even he would tell you it comes with the territory.
Get a life.
