	Phil's Blogservations Saturday, April 02, 2005 Posted by philgomes 1:06 AM Gomes Index Narrows Loss, Execs Still Bummed Out Gomes Index Narrows Loss, Execs Still Bummed Out Well, some executives almost managed to turn those frowns upside-down, raising The Gomes Index 6.9% from last week's all-time low, settling at 78.14. If HP's new CEO Mark Hurd was pleased about his salary package, he certainly didn't say much about it. Gentle readers... As humble as your host is, you better believe that he'd be pretty hard to control if he got two million bucks just to show up. Trust me on this one. Then again, imagine how I'd react if I got Carly's $21 million severance package. Note to business leaders and shareholders everywhere: MAKE ME YOUR CEO AND I CAN GUARANTEE THAT I WILL RUN YOUR COMPANY INTO THE DIRT FOR JUST HALF A QUARTER AN EIGHTH OF THAT!!! AND I'LL EVEN BROWN-BAG MY LUNCH, TOO!!! WHAT A BARGAIN!!! (I still want the company jet, though.) To tell you the truth, I'm pretty pleased. The Gomes Index got some link love from some PR practitioners based in Italy. My Mom's half of the family would be proud, I'm sure. And my brothers at the Buon Tempo Club. Anyway... Off to the weekend. A screening of Sin City, perhaps?
