Alex, stop talking. It almost sounds like you’re volunteering for all these responsibilities.

Does Alex realize that Mike and Kim are getting married?

“Daddy”? Not “Popster” or “Dadmeister” or any of the other odd variations, just plain regular “Daddy”? Seems like she’s being really serious.

Inventory control for a software company?

Home school the kid and let her major in business administration. That way the spreadsheets and budget and business plan and all that will be homework.

She just can’t wait to jump in and get started.

Inventory control in a software company?

The fact that she already knows the jobs required simply means she is looking for a bigger cut of the action to do them. Besides, once she lays the foundation, she can hire an intern and get back to her homework in time for spring break.

“Ok, ok, we’ll help with your homework.”

Quit stalling and get to work

Well, somebody has to be the adult in the room.

Alex is why they will succeed.

This is why I have ALWAYS loved Alex

It will be whoever you hire, Alex.

Let the whinny b**h have it!

She does have the operations skill.

None of this is needed until they have a product.

Even in a much earlier era, everyone knew that the office manager/admin assistant was the one who had control and knowledge of where everything is (and how to get the needul done).
