It's actually pretty neat. The problem is that PR and marketing people all follow each other in this big circle jerk and therefore they all go to these things to "network" and sometimes, in the course of meeting other interesting people, one might end up in a loose grouping of these people and they are really good at paying attention and pretending to care (because that's what they do and they like what they do as opposed to, say, the waitress who pretends to care to get your bigger tip and then talks about how much their job sucks when they're hanging out at the bar afterward), the trick is that they sometimes want to you join their big circle and I only follow people who are actually interesting.<br /><br />Oh, and I will definitely not be hiring PR or marketing people.

And why is it filled with marketing and pr people? (I feel something crawling on my skin just thinking about being in a room of em)(And when you get your pizza place, I promise you're just throwing your money away if you're throwing it at MBAs)<br /><br />I do think it's cool that your tag says Pizza Girl, though.
