The man who clouds the minds of men is what I call that type. I always wanted to be one of those. They seem to hold a high position but nobody really knows what they do for sure. They are always around and always know far to much about what is going on. They are both feared and respected mainly because nobody seems to know what they really do or how much power the wield. When I worked at Motorola it was a guy named Frank. At my last job it was George and at my current one it's Howard. Just before the new year Howard called a meeting to get a status of my current project. It was with a great deal of the department heads some of who didn't even know about the project but they all came. I had never heard of the guy and I asked my boss who he was. She said "Oh that's just Howard. I'm surprised I didn't introduce you when you started." I asked what he had to do with my project and she didn't know so I as what his function was and she said she didn't know. At that point the head of Finance came into our office and she asked him what Howard did and he didn't know.
Like I say, the man who clouds the minds of men.
I want to be one of them.
