Subject: It was ways bout the bets 190

At the office I went right to my desk, said hello to Ruth and closed the
door. I looked at the shit on my desk and quickly reviewed the two
documents. I easily signed off on the CFO compensation package and would
deal with the other one on Monday. I called Riley and asked for her to
stop by when she had time to talk about the event tomorrow as the NASA
Director would be there. I just sat there thinking and then got up and
told Ruth that I would be in Dr. Williams office and to let me know when
Riley was there. Ruth asked if I was ok and I said well dad has us all
upside down, she laughed and I went looking for Kyle. He was in his
office and I knocked on the door jam. He looked up saying, just let me
have a few details, I'm swamped. We talked for half an hour and he said
well that's perfect, you will have it all set in a month and I'll worry
about that then. I asked, so Kyle do you need more help? He said yes. I
thought for a minute and said, I'll free Jack up as he could be more
involved. Mike, actually that would be perfect because there are system
issues out there. Nothing he can fix or has caused. It's an old system
we inherited and he brought it to our attention, I need to free up some
people to fix that. He said, I'll see you tomorrow as I want to meet
that NASA guy.


I went back to my office and found Riley sitting at my desk on the phone.
I laughed and asked if she was comfortable. She looked up and said, oh
sorry it turned out to be a longer call than I expected. Riley, I was
kidding, it's fine. Then she asked, so how are you and Jack? I said,
actually I'm good but he hasn't figured that out yet. She said, that's
perfect. I was then handed an itinerary for the event tomorrow. I saw
there was a space for the Admiral and comments. I was told that it was a
taped non press thing and they would edit it to suit their needs. I said
don't bet on no press. Things seemed under control and I said thanks and
I'll be in early tomorrow. I checked my calendar and saw that it was
updated and there was nothing that needed changed. I said good night to
Ruth and drove home.


At home I found that I was alone and opened the refrigerator and fuck,
there was pulled pork and a giant salad. I looked around and damn the
place was clean. I heated the pork and made a sandwich, dumped some
Italian dressing on a salad and poured an iced tea and grabbed the paper.
I finished eating and cleaned the kitchen, grabbed my bags and went to
what was a very clean room and new sheets. I looked at the suits from the
trip and they were a wrinkled mess so I threw them on the closet floor
and laid out clothes for tomorrow.  I called Beth and we talked about the
trip and the launch and her couple of days. She said that she actually
went to Virginia and met some future teammates. She said Wes want to know
if there was any chance we could play Latrobe. I said that actually
sounds good as I need to get up there. Then I said, I have a bitchy day
tomorrow, a couple of interviews and the damn NASA Admiral. Then I had to
study for the flying test and flight. Saturday morning will be a written
and flight test. Then I would like you and I have a very nice upscale
dinner and then see what happens. Mike, that sounds like fun, unless you
fail the tests. When I finished laughing, I managed to say well you can
bet your sweet ass that will not happen. Babe, I have never failed a test
in anything, not even close. Then she said well the best part is what
might happen after. Beth, let's see how the evening goes. I'm thinking
about dinner at Oakmont. With that I changed the topic to her University.
She seemed excited about all that and I was glad that it wasn't VT. I
hung up thinking, fuck we should just get a room.


I reviewed the material for the test for about an hour and was
interrupted when my phone went off. It was Jack and he started with, so
how much trouble am I in? I laughed and said none, just be careful when
you leave me out of the loop. I know you are kissing ass to somehow
manage a shuttle ride. He laughed and said, nah that won't happen, but I
just wanted to check in and I'll see you tomorrow. I hung up and went
down to the kitchen, grabbed a beer and returned to my room. I decided to
think about the will. That was easy if I died before dad, he would get
everything back but I would ask that building two be sold and that the
proceeds be evenly split between, The Major's, JJ, Sean, Riley, Dillon,
Tim and Kyle. Ray would get my car. Cole would get Enterprises and thus
building one. Then I decide that this would need a yearly review. Finally
The Foundation would remain and Megan, Cole and Tim, would be
administrators. However, they would be unable to modify the caddy
scholarships or the startups. I wanted to make sure that some of the
vision survived. Then I took a few minutes and wrote all this down and
hopefully eliminate a long discussion. Tim could asked about anything and
let me know if I forgot anything. I looked over the written list and was
pleased. At this point I was exhausted and set the alarm and jumped into
bed.


It was a great day and JJ, Ray and I had a great run with JJ asking if we
could all hang out tonight. I said that sounded like fun but I had a big
early day on Saturday with a flight test and an exam, therefore I would
not be drinking? I said look guys, I need to do this but if it all works
out we could fly to Nemacolin and play golf on Sunday. They both looked
at me, shook their heads and said, South Hills will be fine. In the
house, I put coffee on, showered and shaved and dressed in a blazer and
tie, packed more casual clothes and also workout clothes. I found dad in
the kitchen drinking coffee and reading the paper. I reminded him about
the days schedule and that the Admiral would be there. With all that done
I drove to the office an my desk was organized and there was nothing that
required my immediate attention.


I was going over possible interview responses and was tired of the same
answers to various people and was struggling for a new approach when
Wayne stuck his head in and I said have a seat, what's up? He asked
about the trip wondering if it was actual work or simply a PR thing and
the launch. I said well it was a day of business and a launch with a
couple of meetings and getting out of there as soon as possible. The
added complication is the the Director will be here today and we need
space for about 50 people and room to develop, assemble and try out a
rover. Somewhere near the CMU campus would be ideal. So do you have any
ideas off the top of your head? Mike, none that I'm ready to talk about.
I said, fair enough but let me know, I'm trying to push this off till
January. He said that he would start on the right away and asked for a
place to park his ass? I said please ask Ruth as she deal with that but I
assume we can unlock Mason's old office. I asked if he was going to the
event and he said, absolutely I need to see both places. He said, well
I'll see you later and went to talk with Ruth. I was still struggling
with the approach, tone and message and decided to simply leave for the
building.


At the building I took my special hard hat out of the trunk and went to
the construction trailer. I laughed when Allen had the same hat on and he
said, well I'm glad you got the memo, as everyone has their hats on as
well. Just expect a mob at the furniture site. I laughed and said well
that is always fun. I decided to look at the building and went inside and
saw a closed off area and assumed it was the furniture for the photo
shoot. I walked up to the 4th floor and headed for what would be dad's
office. It was an absolutely fantastic view and you could look right down
the river. As I turned to leave Jack and the Admiral appeared and Jack
said so you are checking out your new office? I said well this is dad's
office, I'm in the other building. The Admiral said that from what he
saw the building was outstanding and that we should provide the specs for
the NASA sign and that they would provide it. I said well it will be in
the other corned and in a place that won't disrupt the view. As I walked
around almost every worker said hi or waved from the distance. My next
stop was building 2, there was activity there as the footer was being set
in preparation for the steel. Other than that it was a mud hole but it
was underway. I started back to the demo area and saw the architects
getting out of the car and Carrie was with them. Fuck, I forgot about
that but I stopped and asked how everyone was and we walked together to
the building. Carrie didn't say much and was pleasant enough.


 I saw dad talking with Major Jim and the and the Herman Miller people
and Bruce from the furniture dealership. I went over and we were chatting
and I saw Jack and the Admiral and waved them over and made
introductions. While all this was going on there were tons of pictured
being taking of the outside of the building. I saw Jodie, Jordan and
Carrie approaching as they finished the tour of the building. All of a
sudden I noticed a wave of Burgundy and orange hats approaching and I
just started to laugh. I looked at Bruce and asked if he was ready to get
his show underway. There were a lot more people there than I thought and
it was a very good thing that someone thought about a sound system.
Bruce, introduced himself as the Vice President of Office Pavilion, the
local Herman Miller dealership in Pittsburgh. He very quickly reviewed
his relation with the two MJS companies and turned the event over to the
the Herman Miller people, a Vice President of marketing and the ETHOSPACE
project manager. We were told that there were 5 typical workstations, or
to be more precise work areas. One by one Bruce uncovered each station
and I was totally awe struck and I was already rethinking the interior
wanting it more open to reflect what I was seeing. The 6" panel width
and the tiles and then the lack of tiles were perfect. I could not have
been happier. The colors were examples for each floor and I had to admit
Carrie did an great job.


 I was brought back to the here and now when the Herman Miller Vice
President started to introduce me. According to him I was a young
entrepreneur with a vision and work ethic of people twice my age.
Immediately with the mention of my name the place went nuts with
applause, cheers and hoots. I waited about 10 seconds and sat thank you,
thank you and simply started talking. With a big smile I said it is great
to see that the most important people in this whole project are here and
that they are still happy. We are months ahead of schedule and their work
ethic and dedication to these two projects says all that need to be said
about the hard working people of Western Pa. I would like to also thank J
& J Architects for an outstanding job on the entire project and
developing my vision both inside and outside of the building and Carrie
for the development of the color schemes, which adds to the relaxed
atmosphere we all at Technologies desire. The product is both unique and
fantastic and the actual product and colors is great to see. I am already
thinking about way to open the space up more now that I have seen the
actual product. What I don't want is the place to look like a typical
office space with really modern furniture. I will be meeting with the
with the construction manager and the executive team of the architects to
figure out the possibilities and costs. Finally, I need a favor from my
workers. Please go back and button down the site and then quickly join
you significant others for a little longer weekend, yes full pay for
today and immediately they  started cheering and yelling Mike, Mike,
Mike. I motioned for quiet and said I would be available in 15 minutes
for questions from the media. I handed the microphone to Bruce and joined
the workers. That was a lot of fun as I really liked these guys.


Back to reality it was the media and damn there was that group from ABC
and all the local media. On the way to the media event I took off my tie
and picked up the microphone and said Patty, what's on your mind? Well
Mike, why take a chance on a new product? Patty, while it is new, we did
see a mock-up and Herman Miller is an innovative company, having invented
the "Open Office" concept and is a very large company and based in
Michigan. That is important to me as is keeping technology work in the
country. I didn't think we were taking that big of a chance. The next
question was from ABC and he asked why are you so focused on American
product and workers? I was instantly furious. I took a big breath and
said, we have a tremendous trade imbalance and need to start to pay
attention to that. As for workers, we have working for us, one of the
most diverse workforce in the country. They are part of a very profitable
company and are well paid. We could farm out things to other countries
and make more money, but why? We are about making money and if we are not
breaking even, then things would be up for discussion. As a follow up,
how are things with your NASA project, we saw you at the launch
yesterday? Yes, the launch and the two days at the Cape were educational
and very productive. After this event we could be finalizing a smaller
project with them and that is one of the reasons the Director is here.
Every hand went up and I said, please understand we need to work out some
details and a location and employees need to be worked out. We will have
additional information around 4:00 today. Until then I'll have no
comment. Again from ABC, so Mike, how involved are you personally in all
this? I smiled, bit my tongue and said, my team and I are totally
involved. The final decision is up to me in every case. Again it was back
to Patty and she asked Mike, it seems like the Union people think you
walk on water, how did that happen? Patty, the simple answer is that we
need each other. I wanted a smooth, quick and quality project and they
needed work. Ok that's fair but how does that square with your hero,
Andrew Carnegie? Patty, he was a man of his times and look at what he has
given back. It was 97 years ago that the Carnegie Museum and Library were
established in Oakland. Then what about the things in New York. The Union
movement was just becoming what it would become and yes, the start was
ugly and deadly. My union support is based on need and their performance.
If every project goes this smoothly, within budget and this fast I'll
always use Union workers. Then I was asked Mike, is there another
project? At this time and with this economy, I don't see that happening.
Then the usual question, how you doing this from Virginia? I sampled and
said asked and answered many times, my team and a jet and a years worth
of credits when I step on campus. Then I was asked about the upcoming
high school season. The local guy said you have a lot of people back and
some new additions. Have you had anything to do with those new people. I
laughed and said, we have one new significant player, I hired Major James
Messer, an astronaut, to work for both my companies as PR Director, I did
not know he even had a kid and it was weeks before I knew he was an
outstanding athlete. His parents bought a house 4 houses away from me and
we have become very close. That's not recruiting, I made a great hire
and other things happened. As for the team, we are all working very hard
individually to make the season very successful. Then I said, I would
like the Director of NASA, Admiral Truly to say a few words and possibly
answer a couple of questions. The Admiral said Mike, thanks for including
NASA. We are more that pleased with our existing relationship with MJS
Technologies, Mike, Sr. Made a lot of promises and it wasn't until the
other day that we got to meet the dynamic force behind all that.
Technologies has over performed and the results are, as we speak, very
evident in orbit right now. Two key developments in flight operations are
being tested as we speak, all developed here. I'm hoping to convince MJ
over lunch that we should work together on another project. When I heard
him refer to me as MJ, I thought I'll never be called Mike again. He
answered a couple of questions, handed the microphone back to me and I
simply said, thank you and have a great day.


I asked the Admiral what his schedule was like? He replied, he had
nothing in DC tonight. I asked, Lunch at South Hills Country Club or
Oakmont. He said, well South Hills as it is closer to where we landed,
but later in the summer golf at Oakmont would be appreciated. I said deal
and found Jack and filled him in and then included, dad, Dillon and Major
Jim. I called the club and reserved a room and gave the manager a heads
up. I was told that the room I requested was unavailable but that as it
was nice he would set us up on the patio and guarantee privacy. I said,
thanks and I appreciate the effort. On the was to the car I saw Patty and
said hears a hint, thinks robotics and something bid, red and far away.
She smiled and said damn, I never expected anything like that from you.


Once we were all situated on the patio and drinks were ordered, I said
Admiral, thanks for the kind comments earlier, they are appreciated. I
would like very much to work on another program with you, however there
are problems. The largest of which is where to put this project. Your
last project being housed in the new building moved Enterprises out and
resulted in the second building being built. We are 10 to 12 months away
from that building being done and it will be 7 months before your current
people can move into the building you saw today. Then Jack has a division
to move into the space your program will vacate. The reality is that we
will have to find space for this project. Admiral, we can do this if we
have 90 days to get set up, can you accept that? The Admiral was quiet
for a minute thinking and said MJ you are better than that, I understand
you have football, so test that team you brag about and make it happen in
60 days. So what happens if we miss that deadline? MJ, you won't and we
both know it, so we have a deal? I took a big breath and said so this is
a 3 year project and we need to be up in running mid September? The
Admiral laughed and said well you added two week to this, but yes it's a
deal and the project runs 4 years and the contracts as agreed to by tour
dad. I said thanks and we will not disappoint. At this point lunch became
very relaxed and enjoyable. As we were leaving I asked the Admiral if he
was serious about a round of golf at Oakmont. He smiled and said
absolutely and if it possible, I would like to bring my sons. I said well
the club rule is a member with every group but let me know how many and
I'll put it together. We shook hands and Jack took him to the airport.


I asked, Mason, Major Jim, Kyle and dad to stay. Drinks were ordered and
I was staying with Arnold Palmers (half tea and half lemonade) the others
ordered adult beverages. We spent an hour developing a battle plan and
Jim started on a Press Release. I called Hillgrove and briefed him on the
situation and asked for a meeting Monday. We scheduled that and he said
that he added the kid I requested and I laughed and said well both of
better get to work. Back with the team, Jim had the Press Release ready
and I said just call and read it to the editor, he laughed and said
that's why God invented emails, it's already sent. I laughed and asked
why bother me with looking at it? Just then my phone rang and he said
because of that. I looked at it and let it go to voicemail and said I'll
let the Mayor stew some. Jim asked, why do you have to always poke the
bear? I said because I can and he needs to be more progressive. Jim said
that's a silly fight but fight if you must. I thanked everyone and asked
that we meet at 11:00 on Monday. As we walked to the cars, Jim asked if I
was ready? I laughed and said I better be as I haven't had a drink all
day. Jim laughed saying there is a price for everything.


At home I called Jim and it went to voicemail and I figured he was out on
a date so I called Ray and he answered and I asked what he was up to and
he said well since you didn't seem to want to do anything, I made plans
with some of the guys. I said well have fun and be smart. Well, I had
engineered an evening of studying so, stop feeling sorry fo your self and
study. Which is exactly what I did and I damn well had the material down
pat and memorized. It actually felt good to have had to study something.
I got up took a shower and jumped into bed and even after a long and
tiring day sleep did not come easily. It had been weeks since I had even
seen Carrie but there she was living in my head again. Fuck she was hot
and damn I sprung a woodie thinking about her. I tried to move her aside
by thinking about Beth and damn that was no contest. Just then my
thoughts turned to Jack that hot, sexy jet jockey and I was as hard as
ever and I started to rub one off and fell asleep with cum all over my
stomach.
