Attention Steve Cohen: I'd like to make a one-time plea to come work for you. I do everything from laundry to wet work (I paint houses). I am a fast learner; I adapt at lightning speed and refuse to be judgmental (of people who pay me). Think it over, meditate and let me know what you decide. I think we can do great things together. Oh, you have 72-hours, this is an exploding offer. I'm kidding but I'm not. I'll drop everything and be at your door in 20 minutes. Just say yes. do it, you know you want to.
