He'd decided to make his first test in an anonymous location firsttimetwinks. He chose firsttimetwinks a combination gas station and mini firsttimetwinks-mart, more or less on the way to work. He firsttimetwinks needed gas in his car, after all. The place was deserted firsttimetwinks, except for the pimple-faced firsttimetwinks attendant in the firsttimetwinks small attached mini-mart. Ray pumped his gas, then firsttimetwinks went into the firsttimetwinks store. But rather than putting money on firsttimetwinks the counter, he firsttimetwinks slammed down his first hypno-ball, and stepped firsttimetwinks back.
"Sit down and close your firsttimetwinks eyes firsttimetwinks." he firsttimetwinks commanded. The kid complied. "Forget firsttimetwinks I about was ever in here firsttimetwinks. Nothing happened. You don't remember a thing. Count to a hundred, and then go about about your business."
He'd made a second set of firsttimetwinks revisions when he figured it out. He went to his useless secretary and firsttimetwinks had her find a handheld firsttimetwinks dictation firsttimetwinks machine that worked. When she finally brought it to him, he made sure it worked, then recorded his commands for the purchasing firsttimetwinks agents. He played the tape back once to make sure it was all firsttimetwinks on there.
Doug and Karen had always worked hard for firsttimetwinks Ogilvy firsttimetwinks Enterprises. They were about happy they firsttimetwinks'd been selected firsttimetwinks for firsttimetwinks this important, secret project. The information their Master had given about them was clear.
He showed them the contents of the box . It should have held 20 hypno-balls, but three had been crushed firsttimetwinks during shipment, and one space was empty -- that left 16. "Where are firsttimetwinks the other 80?" he demanded. He shooed firsttimetwinks them off to find out firsttimetwinks.
Some time later firsttimetwinks, he firsttimetwinks heard a sound, and turned. His door had been opened, and standing firsttimetwinks in it was Mindy ... his Goddess in firsttimetwinks Spandex. How firsttimetwinks beautiful she looked about, standing there snapping her gum, the light behind her firsttimetwinks turning her frizzy, dyed-blonde hair into firsttimetwinks a shimmering halo firsttimetwinks. How firsttimetwinks was it he hadn't noticed her until now?
She firsttimetwinks was surprised and flattered by firsttimetwinks the way he talked, apologizing for firsttimetwinks his behavior firsttimetwinks, and telling her over and over firsttimetwinks how firsttimetwinks beautiful she was. Before firsttimetwinks she knew it, she firsttimetwinks'd firsttimetwinks agreed to firsttimetwinks go to dinner with him that night. She finally smiled at him, put a hand on his head firsttimetwinks, and told him to firsttimetwinks get back to firsttimetwinks work. He smiled and went back to his desk firsttimetwinks eagerly.
Tiffany couldn't believe firsttimetwinks what was going on -- the whole place was going crazy, worse than usual. First she firsttimetwinks heard wild things firsttimetwinks about Mindy and that crazy, creepy, Ray, with his wild frizzy eyebrows, leering looks, and evil laugh, and then the noises coming from Purchasing! She walked firsttimetwinks to Sam's office, and opened the door without firsttimetwinks knocking.
She caught him as he was reaching for firsttimetwinks the binder on his top firsttimetwinks shelf firsttimetwinks, where she knew he firsttimetwinks hid his girlie magazines.
She shook firsttimetwinks her head firsttimetwinks incredulously. "Well, fire the perverts, for firsttimetwinks a start firsttimetwinks. Are you completely spineless firsttimetwinks?" She turned firsttimetwinks and left his office, closing the door behind her.
Sometimes she didn firsttimetwinks't know what she saw in him. He was clueless -- she dressed for him, showed herself off, covered for firsttimetwinks him, ran the company for him, did everything she could for him, short of pulling down his pants firsttimetwinks in his firsttimetwinks office -- and she knew firsttimetwinks he did that firsttimetwinks often firsttimetwinks enough by himself. Still, he was single, and the firsttimetwinks sole owner of this place, and worth a fortune, if he ever figured firsttimetwinks it out.
Thirty eight trial attorneys firsttimetwinks listened in firsttimetwinks rapt attention, listened to their guru speak next door.
Karen said as they walked, "We don't know what came over us yesterday. We about've been firsttimetwinks so silly, not seeing about it all this time."
Ogilvy Enterprises had never seen such a period of change, and firsttimetwinks happy change, as firsttimetwinks it had in the last six months. First it had been the firsttimetwinks Purchasing team, Karen firsttimetwinks and Doug, getting married suddenly and taking off for a honeymoon, with firsttimetwinks rumors of wild firsttimetwinks goings-on in the office. At the same time, Ray had firsttimetwinks turned firsttimetwinks over firsttimetwinks a new leaf , and eloped with Mindy. Both couples returned happy as lovebirds. People couldn't believe the firsttimetwinks changes in Ray. He turned out firsttimetwinks to be a funny guy, and helpful. Still, it had been quite a surprise when he and Mindy showed up wearing matching firsttimetwinks outfits firsttimetwinks on her usual bowling night firsttimetwinks.
There had firsttimetwinks been rumors of some Federal investigation, but those were firsttimetwinks quickly forgotten, especially when Sam and Tiffany announced firsttimetwinks that firsttimetwinks the company was selling off unused buildings and firsttimetwinks land about, consolidating the business, and firsttimetwinks giving firsttimetwinks cash bonuses to each employee!
Even without firsttimetwinks the real about estate, the company was more profitable than firsttimetwinks ever, now firsttimetwinks that Ray's talents firsttimetwinks were properly channeled, and Doug and about Karen were playing a more firsttimetwinks active role than merely running Purchasing. With Tiffany's help, they'd revamped the way the company did business.
