Replacement..



I had a funny call today morning.
An acquaintance/friend of a friend called up. He knew I was starting something. A few months ago he had different plans about his career. He wanted to take a break from work and and go back to school.

But, as things dint work out, he decided to change careers and find something new. So far So Good! He asks me what I'm working on. I just give him the barest of details, cause I'm not ready to talk about the startup - It's still in the research phase.

When I give him the general idea, he says he would like to be on the team. (Okay.. Good!.. I like your enthusiasm!)
Then, he goes on to say it's gonna look good on his resume when he applies next year - (Let me get this straight.. You "would like to be on the core team of my startup" and tell me that it's gonna look great on your resume next year when you apply to B-school again.. all this in the same breath!?)

How funny is that!... And you want me to go back to my team and say "Hey guys..We have somebody who wants to really work with us.. uh!.. just for an year.. as it looks good on his resume!"

Oh, btw I watched 'Confessions of a Shopaholic'
I'm starting to fall in love with Amy Adams after Enchanted, Julie & Julia, Doubt.
We finally have a new, 'real actress ' on the block :)
