Fitting In

The main thing, sorry, amongst the main things, sorry, one of things we talked about at the Deeper Dialogue was how you can bring your personal passions to work, and how doing that might allow other people to admit to their own non-work approved life.

Last week I got on to a discussion about E.E. Smith's "Skylark" books with a very serious engineer, and today, in the car, a Spanish SAP consultant told me how pissed off she got when a meddling and politically correct Immortal turned all the beavers in her lake into otters. After all, she said, otters don't build dams.

I told my clients in the break for lunch that I'd been to see the Fratellis and they just stared at me uncomprehendingly. One of them may even have made a secret note about me.
