life references March 31, 2010
getting ahead in a cutthroat environment means beefing up the resume and coming up with character references to prove you know your stuff, yet 99.9% of the time they don’t get to the character at the heart of the person.
To this day I’ve had 3 great / unconventional life references, these transcend RTFM skills… one of them was tonight, without context it means nothing, in context it means more than everything.

BTW, here’s a beer. I got Ambra, my bartender here, to get you a beer. This pic was taken only seconds ago and I told her all about you. It was going to be nice and simple but the whole bar got wind of me wanting to buy a beer. What you don’t see and hear is everyone cheering for you.
