Oh, and it's a little late, but I would have done:

I had been involved in the business, as far as I was concerned, 30 years (15 years at Pepsi, 15 years at Descartes).

I usually don't use the colon unless there is an "and" between the two, such as:

I had been involved in the business, as far as I was concerned, 30 years: 15 years at Pepsi and 15 years at Descartes.

Amanda's punctuation is also fine. Style preference between us. :)

I don't think it needs any special punctuation, Janiece. The weirdness, or the bass ackwardness, of it is pretty clear. :)

How do you handle spoonerisms? Do they need to be in quotes?

A. I'm bass ackwards.

Thanks, LeAnne.  :-)

Yes.

Comment by Janiece Young on October 5, 2013 at 13:40

LeAnne, so you think this is correct?

A. That it was a base pay plus commission.

I wouldn't use the comma, but I'm wondering whether the question would make a difference in how it's punctuated. 

Comment by Janiece Young on October 5, 2013 at 13:13

Should there be a comma after "pay"?

A. That it was a base pay, plus commission.

Thx, Amanda :-)

That'd be the way I'd do it. ;)
