When I sent my resume out around here, some of the 'old boy' types, who I won't name, told me that they didn't want people with my qualifications. I had one interview where they realized I was married and actually suggested that I go home and have children and stay home with the kids. He lets me be the crazy person that I am. The bad news is that I'm an absolute firecracker - if something happens, I have a loud bang. But if you know to take cover, it'll be okay real soon.
Nobody does it all themselves.
I think that you do it through relationships and good luck. And I feel a real obligation to do the same. I'm really going to ruin my image here. The only time I get to do anything myself is when I go shopping. One of the scariest things to me is that you try to do a good job.
