Congratulations to my executive assistant/friend Gary who found a new permanent in no time!
It was very kind as well as “wise” of him to purchase an extra copy of my book as a farewell gift to a colleague at his current workplace (as gently suggested by me “in passing”). I then suggested to him that my book can also be an excellent gift to his NEW colleagues when he lands on the new place of employment. He replied “Don’t push your luck, my friend!”.
Though I did not believe luck has anything to do with my book, I took the not-so-subtle hint and retreated to quietly scheming for another occasion of book sales.
