Jake! You know I have been ridiculously busy with work and planning two major events in the coming weeks. I have very little time for tomfoolery or fuckery. I can't even find the time to blog! So you know this must be an emergency.
Picture it: tonight, about 45 minutes ago. I'm home, exhausted, and working on yet another deal that needs my attention. As I'm trying to finish up this ish so I can pass out and rest up for my 6am spinning class, do you know a former jump off had the nerve to call me repeatedly - which I ignored - and then sent me a text saying, ''I'm downstairs.''
J, at this point I am so stressed and tired, Nigel could have sent that text and I woulda hesitated before answering the door. But jump-off? Are you kidding me?
So I've come up with a few commandments Jump-Offs should follow:
1. Do NOT pop-in. Our meetings must always be pre-determined and scheduled. You are not a pleasant surprise by any means.
2. If you call me and I don't answer that means I am busy, away from my phone, or I DON'T want to talk to you. Calling back repeatedly is just a waste of your time, and more importantly, mine.
3. Do NOT ever, never, bring up the following topics: ''Settling down", children, marriage, you get the idea.
4. DON'T get it twisted. You are and will only be a jump-off, a plan B. Sorry, but that's your role in this life. Be happy you were even invited to the party.

If may be so bold as to add number 5...
5. If I say that I'm attending a party or other event, even if that party or event is being thrown by me, thou shalt not ask "Oh what time should I be there?" because you aren't invited and will never meet my friends or family.
