Getting a life

Just reading an article in the Wall Street Journal about how business people -- and consultants in particular -- have to continually be figuring out to dress to feel appropriate and fit in. In one example, a woman talked of getting directions from a style maven client to spruce up because she wasn't fashionable enough. Which is absurd. The correct answer for both of them is get a fucking life. Later in the article others kvetched about how one needed to be careful to pick consultants who fit in.

It never ceases to astonish, the things people get paid lots of money to do.

Which reminds me, if I ever get a real job I'm going to send you this $3 Gap tie you've always admired.

The best consultants always speak softly and carry big sticks so slather up!
