You Think Your Job Sucks? Try Working for Lenny Dykstra

The funniest thing I have read in a while...

?You see, Kevin, The Players Club is not just a magazine. It?s an actual club of players helping players. Do you want to be a part of the Players Club??

At this point, I commit my first strategic blunder: Instead of saying yes, I say I?d like to hear a little more about his business before signing on. Lenny hands me a new MacBook Air??Dude, this will be one of your computers when you take this job??and I sit down next to him as he pulls up his own PC laptop and we descend into the strange, time-sucking vortex that is working with Lenny Dykstra. For the next two hours, I sit there on the sofa, two feet away from Lenny, as he e-mails me things?Players Club slide shows, YouTube clips, articles about himself?from his laptop. The only magazine business we talk about is a new Players Club logo. Lenny e-mails me a link to it, then calls his flight attendant?an attractive woman in her midtwenties?into the room and gets her opinion, too. The attendant likes the logo.

excellent read! my perception of 245 Park is forever changed - especially as Im always sending things over to that office. Maybe if he had taken a flight downstairs he could have visited Blackstone Group for some help. Like that could have happened.
