Incidental Acts of Spontaneous Cerebral Violence

Friday, September 10, 2004

Repeat until it sinks in: This will not work in your personal life. This will not work in your personal life.

This morning, after nine straight months of refusing to accept “no” from the other side in a fairly contentious deal, I finally wore them down to the point where they caved completely and agreed to all of my remaining terms. I am a certifiable hero within the office. Drinks all around . . . on my boss.

One caveat: I truly must remember that what is successful within the professional arena does not consequently apply to those occasions where one has been continuously shot down by the same woman for months on end.
