the art of tao is lost
"There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life."- Frank Zappa
she blogged some time back about achieving the art of tao in her industry.
she just realised she hadn't. she was so mad at the unethical dirty antics of this blur- finger- pointing club manager that she just sent him a nasty note reeking of 100% sarcasm complete with the works (past powerpoints proposals highlighted in red and previous email attachments as evidence, underlined plus inverted commas everywhere, cced client and his colleagues).
ms bee's theory is simple.
if you made a mistake and admitted it, she will try her utmost best to help you solve the problem. it's teamwork (and courtesy) be it partner, supplier, whatever. but if you get all CB about it and try to blame her for what's 100% your mistake, you've just signed your VIP entry to hell. the industry is small. don't mess with people whom you're trying to get a favour from, the dynamics of power remember? and pls don't assume ms bee's some freshie pushover just cos she runs round looking bohemian in her slippers. her second boss once threw her in the deep blue open sea and she had to learn it the hard way surviving dirty suppliers, micro clients, edgy creatives, PMS traffic, lazy media and small short men on her own. she learnt some, she lost some.
and yes, she's digressed has she not? this wo-man is oh so vengeful right now. if you bite her, she'll bite you back hard. very hard too.
mood: nose flares and sharp voice
cd of the moment: chemical brothers
UPDATE as of 10.05pm: she's feeling much calmer after dinner with the other half and listening to aretha franklin and etta james.
