Analingus Pipeline Service Company


Dear James B. Hermiller, President and CEO, 1991;

Sorry it took so long to respond back to your “Letter of Apology”, but it was a very “embarrassing situation” when Kathy Carr informed you that I was a “vocal UNION supporter” when stationed down in Valdez in the 80s. No not “embarrassing” to me, maybe to the Analingus Executive branch, that a “secret company confidential correspondence” snuck outside its intended audience. Spy vs. Spy, gothcha! And Carr Carr mentioned that I had a chip on my shoulder? Hey I enjoyed being so “vocal” that it ruffled the feathers and I became center of attention the Human Resources horse’s assay. So it took this long to come out of the Uncle Al’s Closet, to thank you for nothing as I was a loud mouth for a reason the same reason that “chip”, for a louder reason! Sad when that “vocal” was my last resort ways and means to broadcast the fact I was sick and tired of the Terminal Superintendent(Ivan) condoning and encouraging the Marine Supervisors calling on the “I&E” to be accomplices in assisting drunks to re-board those tankers filled with crude oil. When the Joes & Crew enjoyed furlough and galivanting around unsupervised terrorizing the “Our Town” of Valdez and then the drunks getting behind the wheel of misfortune! So you don’t need to apologize to me, maybe I am the one that should apologize to your company, for being “vocal” as it accomplished nothing. Take that back, it “blacklisted” this guy for speaking up and testament that “he who speaks up the loudest is the weakest voice in the crowdshare”. See, I guess I was wrong, it was just “boys being boys” this binge drinking so I was out-of-line being so “vocal” and demanding it be STOPPED or else “we the workers” will “Unionize in Solidarity" and bring that damn “I abuse alcohol” to a  screeching halt by a force majeure “STRIKE”. Sorry if my “vocal” enthusiasm that remained when I was transferred north caused Chuck to lose sleep. But all without merit my loud-mouth and I am so sorry, as the drunks continued their mission, the reason the Alyeska Analingus Cowards have that EXXON Valdez stain to contend with and remind them forever in “golden parachute” retirement heaven-hell they had the opportunity to STOP that madness. And I know Ivan was pissed at me, for being so “vocal” about it. And those Valdez managers behind the Alyeska wheelhouse when Captain Joe ran that ship with fools “Hard Aground”, they were fools’ themselves as well aware of the habitual drunk’n habits - but moving oil was their royal “stugots” mission can’t let a little Jim “High” Beam get in the way can we! And I come forward now, as it appears the “silence” infected a whole lot of your company’s managers - from that tongue between the cheeks admiration - just like the Wuyan virus running amuck. Sad, when that “tongue & cheek” disease that started on the 5th Floor of Bragaw, it silenced the “messenger”. You know, when them corporate “poop chute” climbers were tongue tied up - the reason a “Best of the Best” fit for your organization finds praise with the “Analingus Pipeline Service Company” as a rename with meaning. I mean if the shoe fits wear it - the “anal” with the “pipe” cleaning those in “line” providing a “service” and the “company” we keep, hey it’s that formula of success in disaster! See, I am not one that compromises with “silence” as my father was Kilkelley Irish, and he taught me well to stand up for the workers’ right to be heard. IMAGINE had somebody in Valdez listened to my “vocal” as maybe this coming March 24th, instead of commemorating the EXXON Valdez “Wreck” 31 years in the making still causing marine ecosystem derangement, hey what if the “Management” had listened to my “vocal” and taken corrective action? No not against me, but against those managers so silenced to not give a rat’s ass and when the going gets rough just go back to sleep! So Kathy, can you hear me now and if so, what was it you did not understand about being “vocal” for a cause? See, back in July of 1977 as Pump Station#8 smoldered in ruins and the recovery crews found the cindered and charred remains of an Alyeska Technician, well on recommendation by the NTSB to immediately assign “Pump Station Managers” to each station as an added safety net, Alyeska’s famed E.L. Patton jumped on that chance to do a better job and by August, just shy 2-months, that recommendation was fully implemented! So it shows that under proper Executive Managers…so thanks for sending along the “Qualification” for Alyeska’s management ranks as it gets the point across:
