Changing the world - Day 22

Everybody knows it's not what you know but who you know...that's how loads of idiots and wankers get management positions or singing contracts and stuff.

Look at all the 'it' people for instance. Most of them are only famous for having the sheer good luck to be born into a wealthy and prominent family.

Trying to get my book published is proving to be a monumentally difficult task (and I refuse to believe that it's because it's crap) so the only other explanation is - I just can't get it in front of the right people...because I don't know the right people. Woe is me!

Coincidentally - an old friend messaged me today asking two things: 1. Did I remember who he was and 2. Did I still have any contacts in the finance industry. My answer to him was yes and yes.

So I'm sending him the details of my old boss so he can hopefully land the job of his dreams in sunny Melbourne (he's from Ireland).

Et voila! Fingers crossed my good deed puts my friend in the know.

Until tomorrow do-gooders xx

  1. How frustrating! I hope you find a way. I wish there was some lovely do-gooder like you around yesterday to put a coin in the meter so I didn't get a whacking great parking ticket! And I can't believe your Dad had never been to Ikea. Have a great w/end. Vic xxx
