Also, I almost walked straight into Zimmer on my way out — definitely as impressive in person as in his commercials.
Additionally, it shows how savvy he is being at Dreamforce. Say what you will about Salesforce, building a startup in their walled garden can be incredibly lucrative if the mothership casts its eye upon you.
In those horrid months, I had one dream repeatedly, and it was so American.
The dream was I was a chess piece on a large chess board. I think I was a pawn? In the dream, George was yelling at me so vociferously, the air from his lungs was blowing me off the chess board. I would try to grab on to the other chess pieces, but the gail force was so strong, I would just slide on the board. I knew if I was pushed off the board, I would just fall,and fall. When I got to the absolute edge, I would wake up--sometimes--covered in sweat.
I have worn a suit, and tie one time since that period on my life. It was my sisters wedding, I couldn't wait to get the tie off. It felt like a noose.
Not fun times, but I can look back and find some amusement in my pain. If anyone reading this is going through bad times, I can guarantee it will get better with time.
In reality, George Zimmerman looks like a decent guy to work for. I felt bad when they let him go as the spokesperson.
I know this is a little irrelevant and irreverent, but I've always found it remarkable that Zimmer is magnetic enough on television to inspire internet memes.
