I had a woman at my last in-house copywriting gig who was a little creepy. Anorexic with this overlarge head, bitten-down fingernails, dyed red stringy hair. Looked like an old rag doll with half the stuffing out. And clingy as all hell. I made the mistake of passing the ten minutes before work with her once, and ever after she wanted to go out to lunch. But I didn't like her. I found her weird and clingy. So I would avoid this lunch, and avoid it, until my job was actually finished, three months later. Which is about when I found out that she's some kind of networking QUEEN. Who knows everyone, and offered to help me find my next freelancing gig. She's still annoying and clingy. But now, it's flavored with 'awesomely helpful.' I can go to a long lunch for that. Oh, it’s so TRUE. I had a woman at my last in-house copywriting gig who was a little creepy.

I'd like to think it takes too much effort to game the system with faux caring; even if you try, you're going to be sniffed out in a heartbeat. People's b.s. detectors are sharper than ever in Life 2.0. Later, Kelly Tony,

No. That's not the reason. Something that started nagging at me over night:

I assure you the blog doesn't need my rambling. It really is very good and I feel like I'm messing it up now. So, like I said if you all just skim over these past comments that would be best for everyone. Thanks. For everyone else try to just skip over this bit.
