the celestine prophecy by james redfield

it gave me a perspective on the world that had me nodding my empty little head repeatedly in agreement while reading it. she read it multiple times, and loaned it to me. it formed her view on life and how to live it. Ruby's favorite book in the whole wide world was The Celestine Prophecy. later, she quit her job and moved on to buying and selling condominiums. her promo materials included an empty swing with a teddy bear (kidnap insurance), the world on fire (global coverage), and some cute lil' gray styrofoam bombs. her policies included kidnap insurance, explosion insurance (car & building & home), insurance that included services from high-tech spy & security group Kroll and information brokers/ hostage negotiators Pinkerton, insurance that allowed you to insure various limbs and appendages so that you could get a financial return if you were kidnapped and some torture-amputation occurred. she wrote policies for folks working in danger zones.

Ruby was a Crisis Management Underwriter. we had a complicated relationship, based around sex, drugs, and a long trip to Turkey. soon after, i quit my job and became a counselor for homeless kids, and so my life changed.ĭuring this time period, i had an associate named Ruby. i looked inside and didn't see a whole lot there. that was the day i realized that i was an evil person. i found this out because the current CEO was visiting the san francisco office and decided to stop by and see this promising young underwriter to tell him 'the good news'. one day i learned that i had written a movie policy that was so successful, so full of clever exclusions to coverage that it managed to cut off an entire family from any AIG benefits after a fatal helicopter crash. it was a time of much partying, much coke, an expense account, 1.5 assistants, and daily hangovers. i got to read a lot of scripts, i dealt with a lot of famous people, i got paid a lot of money. Once upon a time, a long time ago, i was an Entertainment Insurance Underwriter for AIG (well, a junior underwriter).
