     The news this week is that Andrew "Picadilly" Tilley has already gone on vacation!   He’s been out all week, after having only started work on July 1.  Man that’s the life, isn’t it?  I guess he doesn’t intend to emulate Stanley Bard.  But what I’m wondering is, what sort of job is this?  Most of the time, when you start a new job, you don’t even think of taking a vacation for several months, right?  At least if you want to make any kind of a good impression.  And what kind of boss would let him get away with this shit?  I wonder if Marlene Krauss is rethinking the wisdom of her hire.
     I guess dealing with the press must have stressed Tilley out.  After all, he gave two half-hearted interviews in the past couple of weeks.  Maybe he needs a mental health break.
     It’s no skin off my nose anyway.  Even when Tilley was here he was reportedly only working "summer hours" of 9:30 – 3:30, and even then nobody saw him since he was always in the back.  No doubt the very visible security guards can take up the slack in his absence.  Well, here’s wishing Tilley a quick recovery from whatever it is that ails him. — Ed Hmailton
