Yeah, well. Being where we are, a PR guy sounds like a great way to cut through your uh...rough delivery, but maybe start thinking about doing that yourself.

Also, come on, be honest with yourself. Is it really 'unexpected' if you know you need a guy to smooth it out when it inevitably happens?

You're smart, I'm sure learning how to communicate your master plans without pushing everyone away from you before you're done is within your capabilities.
