Sandbath, exactly my thoughts. It really does seem like the CEO gig is sort of an annoying part of his real job:
"But again, he's the CEO of a PUBLIC company and this kind of thing could be handled better. And should be. Regardless. I assume that the CEO role is sort of like a part-time annoyance to him, though, along with his real preferred duties of deal-making. So I try to remind myself of that."
