Morning, Things have been, and continue to be, a little crazy work wise, which is a limp excuse for a significant lack of posting recently.

Working ‘clean’

In the end, the people who do what they believe in, who have something to believe in… in the end, they last longer.

PR hell: Just go read it

Read this from Hugh about Parmet, shake your head a little, learn the lesson, build on it and do something smart.

Bah, don’t know why I misread that. Memo to myself: don’t do blog responses last thing in the day. Best of luck to Dave and everyone else out there surviving!

Hi Hugh, well said: “In the end, the people who do what they believe in, who have something to believe in… in the end, they last longer”
I’m doing what I believe in for almost ten years now ‚all right, honesttly, nobody wanted to give me a job so I had to “invent” one for myself.
Things are going great now, I even got my wife to leave her regular job and now she works with me, at home, online, we can do what we like the most (we’re into developing Internet projects for worldwide clients) and we can spend more quality time with our daughter Beatriz.
I think thw world will be a better place when more people is fired from their traditional jobs and realize that they can do a lot by themselves and actually have a life. We need to believe more in ourselves and less in “the system”.
Congratulations to Dave for being fired , really, it’s one of the best things that can happen in these times and I’m sure you will find lots of great opportunities now that you’re not just another 86 (those working for others from 8am to 6pm like monkeys each day of their lifes).
Regards!
p.s: I’m starting to read the HughTrain today, I’m a big fan of the ClueTrain so I think this will be another great read.

If you see Larry Weber again, can you tell him to speak to his senior management. I consulted for Weber Shandwick UK last year on web issues. They are well run, traditional PR company, but still well-enternched in an old school mindset.

Thanks, but.… ermmmmm.… it wasn’t me who was laid off.
That being said, I’ve had my fair share of it in the past.

Well Hugh, I know that this won’t neccessarily make you feel any better, but getting laid off (3 weeks and counting) is what got me to read Hughtrain seriously. Cheers and good luck!
