Nonetheless, the initial conversations can be rather interesting, as well as time-consuming, so you do have to be careful.

As I’ve been known to say, being opportunistic and bold is the only way to really get ahead.

Sometimes doing the stuff you’re invited to do has to take precedent over doing the stuff you need to do; don’t you think?
What sphincter-tightening moment did you have today?
