The bartender with a chemistry degree

He measured relationships in ounces and degrees.

Rule 1

“Count the days since the client last said thank you. Past thirty, start worrying.”

Rule 2

“One bad meeting is weather. Three is climate.”

Rule 3

“A renewal is decided ninety days before anybody says the word.”
