Ed Drops A Clanger

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

'This is brutal', Ed confides to his diary, '70 presentations in three weeks for this dog and pony show and I'm already being taken apart by these bastards.'

 

'This week it's London, Edinburgh, Frankfurt, Zurich, Geneva, Paris, and two days in the Gulf in Abu Dhabi and Qatar then it's over to the US to visit more cities than I've had hot dinners, followed by a couple of days in Shanghai and Tokyo'

 

'This morning in Edinburgh one of those wheedling, whiny-voiced Jockos had the cheek to ask me about my CV,' writes Ed.

 

'What's this about Harvard Business School on your bio", he asked, "have you got an MBA?"'

 

'"No", I tell him," it's just that I was on a course there".'

 

'"You mean you went on a summer three-week course and you've put this in your bio as management education - Harvard Business School?"'

 

'"Well, yes, that's about it",' I say.

 

'The b. Jocks all look at eachother', writes Ed, 'the atmosphere goes frosty. The message is plain: Here's one group who's not going to invest.'

 

'Oh well', concludes Ed, 'there are only 25 days till the IPO and I'm out of all this crap with a massive mountain of moolah.'
