Corporate Junkets

Suzanne's description over at All Mine of the "corporate retreat" where she convened with her entire "staff" left Mistress and Slave a little envious.  Over the years, we've talked about getting our staff together out in our mountain hideaway in the Southwest  for some "team building" exercises. But no matter how hard Mistress tried to make it worth our Western Correspondent's while to take the drive down from our Western field office, it just was not to be.

Of course, we have been able to meet up with Donna and Bill, our Senior Correspondent and Director of Security once here at the UCTMW World HQ. Hopefully someday we will be able to stop by to see them down in the Smokies.

As for the All Mine staff's little corporate junket, the descriptions and accounts reminded Slave of a place he went in New England as a child, when the family tagged along for my father's own corporate junkets back in the Mad Men era of the late 1950's and very early 60's. (I just know it was before the first Kennedy Assassination, a historical marker in my life, like so many other peoples' lives who were around in that decade).

It was a grand old hotel, only open in the summer in those days, with cavernous public rooms, a huge (but cold) swimming pool, and "activities" for the kids while the parents were otherwise engaged drinking Manhattans and smoking large quantities of cigarettes. I can recall roaming the halls with my brother, seeing if there was trouble we could get into and avoiding taking care of our whiny little sisters.

It would be nice to go back there again sometime if the All Mine staff ever wanted to do a little mutual team building.... after all why shut the door on a potential leveraged corporate consolidation at some point down the road.

Our "cultures" seem compatible. Certainly there would be the potential for synergy. Suzanne could teach Mistress a thing or two about how to get the most out of her Slaves, and Mistress could coach Suzanne on the art of "pampering".

And since Mistress has a bit of a submissive streak that too frequently goes untended (other than on Switch Day), I suspect that there could be some opportunity for her to do a little "fluffing" if she plays her cards right.  Who knows, maybe Suzanne might find another use for her mighty strap-on.

At worst, Slave could be a useful Sherpa in the event there is another mountain to climb. And Mistress could deploy her "facilitation" skills.

Who knows, maybe there is some Venture Capitalist willing to fund this potential merger, take us public, and create Cayman based IRA's for all of us to retire in style someday.
