Hey, everybody! Welcome to orientation. It looks like I’m the new leader of this drug cartel since I have a chemistry degree and a previously unbeknownst thirst for power. Who knew?

Turns out it’s really not that big of a leap from selling cheaply-made maxi skirts on Facebook to pushing bulk quantities of heroin around the globe. Especially if you employ your entire family.

Family is so important.

*tapping mic* Is this thing on or am I just so high I can’t hear anything?

Yes!

That’s a little drug cartel humor.

We’re going to be doing things a little differently from now on because I have a background in multilevel marketing and I really think those management skills will transfer readily to a multi-tiered black market pharmaceutical enterprise such as this.

I may get a few things wrong at first, so please, please be gentle with me.

I did try to research the corporate culture, but I’ve never seen Sons of Anarchy because I just can’t accept Ron “Beauty and the Beast” Perlman in the role of ruthless gang patriarch.
