STOP: Read Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 first!
I didn't hear from Joe for a few days. I started to think that maybe he had given up on me. Had I been too insubordinate, pushed him too far? He was no doubt overworked with dozens of potential rubes scattered across the North American continent. Maybe he had gotten into a heated argument with the Controller over my bad attitude. I figured I should send Joe a message and rattle his cage a little bit; maybe he had gotten as complacent as I had. I sent him this message one afternoon:

This message went on for much, much longer and I broke it down into a dozen or so separate messages just in case Joe could receive them as text messages through his mobile phone. Still I heard nothing from him. I believe Joe simply lost his patience with me. I’m sure as he sat in that Internet cafe in Nigeria he made a decision that I was either too stupid or too crazy to be bothered with. No “good morning, how are you," no reprimands, nothing.
Tune in tomorrow for the exciting conclusion!
