This week's cartoon is dedicated to Mona Elesseily (of PageZero Media), who has been pushed dangerously close to the edge trying to put the finishing touches on a 100-page report titled

Mastering Panama

Now, finally she's through the last mile of layout and copy-editing stuff ... and as we all know that last 20% takes 80% of the time and effort. As I understand it ... Mona is exhausted. Its rumoured that she joked about wandering over to the Lion's Gate Bridge (I can only suppose what for). I'm guessing that a number of other industry writers such as Bryan Eisenberg, Cat Seda, Shari Thurow, and Mike Grehan can identify with Mona's state of mind! Walk her over it everyone! Apologies did I say "over"? I meant "through". Perhaps a few congratulatory drinks in San Jose are in order, maybe even a small informal "book launch" party with champagne. I understand that Andrew is offering up his hotel room for the "said" event ... he just doesn't know it yet.

So, here's to you Mona ... can't wait to read the report. By the way ... Happy Birthday (19th I presume ... you know the recurring birthday. Hey, we're the same age)!

Mona Elesseily Considers What Next!

About the Author: Jeff Quipp

I'm a sports fanatic, particularly hockey, but in reality just about any sport. If Toronto had a dog sled team ... I'd probably try to get season's tickets. Guess I'm fortunate ... I'm very happily married, and am a father of three spirited kids (two girls and a boy). They tend to like sports too ... imagine that. I've got an BA in Economics, and an MBA from Wilfrid Laurier University ... go Hawks go! I'm a tremendous fan of all things science and the internet, and particularly how the internet is changing our behaviours. I'm always looking to connect with more people interested in the same topics as I am, so I'd encourage you to "Friend me" in all the social media below if that's you too!
