Foreign Correspondent JJVH Not Made Partner

It's tough to lose good help. Even tougher to lose grood help. At the end of this month, foreign correspondent JJVH leaves the United States for Africa to work as an indentured servant for the family pictured above. With this move, it is highly likely he will sever his ties with YDG.blogspot.com. So I was surprised when I got to work this morning to see him already in the box:

JJVH: Working J. Groodbud hours here.
JJVH: Trying to make partner at groodbud & groodbud.
JJVH: My life is a whirlwind. it's pretty crazy. And in 3 weeks it will stop and I will have nothing. I'll spend my days quietly monitoring the roomba
J: We should talk about upping your ydg responsibilities.
JJVH: Maybe I could monitor the catmail? Edit the questions and send them to the catman for responses?
JJVH: Honestly though, unless i make partner at Groodbud & groodbud, everything changes. However, the limited compensation pool at present has made the partnership reluctant to expand.
J: This is true -- if we had more donations (ahem) we could offer to pay you more.
JJVH: Groodbud, Groodbud and the K.I.D. That has a nice ring to it.
J: It certainly does. Let me talk to the Catman.

The Catman is a stickler though. And with over half of our anticipated revenues being used to support his online dating habits, I suspected that we weren't going to have the funds. Still, I asked him anyway:

J: JJVH wants partner
Catman: hmm yea
Catman: maybe a few more years with the firm.

And just like that, an era came to an end. Send us a resume at groodbud@gmail.com
