Gary at work is sending me mad. He won’t stop going on about when he was a great wise tree. I’ll say I’m a bit tired, and he’ll say, Oh, when I was a great wise tree I drew my power from the earth and the sun, you should try that. Whenever someone new starts, it’s twenty seconds before he’s slipped it into conversation, I’ve been here ten years but time goes quicker now than when I was a great wise tree. He’s got it on his LinkedIn. It’s not industry-relevant experience, Gary, and you’re not a great wise tree anymore.
