Entry 13:

Come on, Jim,

You think I'm going to reveal Code 1 secrets to you, the English prof? Just hand over the keys to the HBS kingdom? Hah.

You reveal the elemental corporate chromosome that humanities-arts types lack, and I'll reconsider. Or is it, rather, a conscious end run? Perhaps caused by the thought of 30 years of office parties in which the conversation dances around events of the week, such as changing detergent speckles from Green No. 37 to Green No. 39 to get a little more visual pop out of the Cheer as it's being poured into the washer, which tanked because HQ thought the deviation too risky as it might dislodge heavy-users' lifelong love affair with  Green No. 37, and then, oh golly, there's Red No. 14, better grab another vodka.
