I was in the Burlington today having a cup of coffee, and two former colleagues walked in. I was deep in typing mode on the laptop and they did not see me.
They sat at the next table and started their meeting.
When I was running my technology company I got these two guys involved in a multimillion euro opportunity with a global player. While I was in hospital, I asked another colleague to watch the project to make sure all was well. My friend was told that the project was dead. This news which came to me in hospital was another nail in the coffin but I got over that.
But when I heard these two guys talking about their project - THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT MY PROJECT !!!! I could only laugh that they had to wait until I was in hospital to steal it from me.
I walked over to say hello to them and I had to pinch myself from laughing in their faces. As soon as they saw me they nearly sh1t themselves - they turned over their notes and were stunned into silence.
I had a chat with them about life and happiness and when I left the Burlington Hotel - I laughed myself all the way to my next meeting. I am so happy to have such an attitude now - and while I have paid a high price - in retrospect, it is a price that I am willing to pay and luckily - I had enough to pay for it.
Friends in business my ass :)

This is great info to know.
Let's start a small discussion on usability of this blog. I say there are at least 5 major design flaws here. Anyone see it?
Let us rejoice if this post actually makes it by the forum admins. There's really no harm here. I'm just drunk :)
