I’m going to SMX!
For better or worse, I decided it would be a good idea to go. Marks & Spencer are paying for me to go, as in their credit card is . Sadly, I think they expect me to give the money back at some point? Or can I just change my name and move to another country?
Obviously, seeing as I’m paying, it’ll be a jetsetting, no-expense spared affair. I shall be staying here , which I think beats even Dixon “Black Hat” Jones’ record of cheap conference hotels? At least mine supposedly has a shower in the room, although the pictures look rather naff so I dread to think what it looks like in reality without the flattering lighting and angles.
I’ve never paid for my own conference before. It’d better be worth it!
In between sessions, I will be begging for money on the street. Please give generously. I promise I won’t spend it all on crack.
I want to go to SMX!
It’s hard work, no longer having a cushy travel budget. 
Trying to decide whether I can afford to go anyway…
LinkedIn recommendations you’re never likely to see
The most impressive thing about this clown is how he managed to hold down a job for so long while being addicted to both crack and heroin. We all love his crazy antics around the office so we tend to turn a blind eye when he steals office supplies to pay for his habit.
If your company needs an office comedy drunk to turn attention away from your CEO’s adulterous relations with his PA then you really can’t do better than this guy.
Once you get over the personal hygene issues and his droning, shrill voice, you realise this guy really isn’t that bad…
This guy is a great salesman and an asset to his company. which is to say he’d backstab you in a second and lie through his nose to make a sale.
He’s an obnoxious little guy, but he can’t hold his drink. Buy him a single beer and he’ll spill all his trade secrets. Buy him two and he’ll probably go home with you, whether you want him to or not.
I am not sure exactly what services this guy’s company is providing me, but he keeps taking me out to expensive dinners and getting me drunk so what the hell.
She is an extremely talented, professional individual with unparalleled industry knowledge and a list of contacts as long as her arm. She has singlehandedly turned this company into the thriving business it is today. Any company would be extremely lucky to have her.*

Ditzy but easy. Nuff said.
He’s a great guy, not one of those bosses who’d expect you to sleep with him for a promotion. Unless you’re a blonde, of course, but even then a blowjob is usually enough.
Casualties of change
I just got back from someone’s leaving drinks. Not mine, I hasten to add, but a sales guy from an advertising network I buy from who’s packing it in and taking a major life changing step with his GF, moving out of London and completely changing sector. Great guy, great company. In fact, they’re one of the best I’ve worked with and totally deserve the above well-anchored link (and even a similar link on a better ranking blog). I’ve been working with this guy since my very first days of doing online marketing and he was one of those rare people who made me realise not all sales people are slimy, greedy bastards who only look at short-term gain. I’m really happy for him for pursuing his dream, but the whole thing got me a bit introspective (in a 2 double vodkas sort of way).
