Netparty first-timer




I went out last weekend.

It was not a completely ho-hum weekend. It would have been kick-ass fun if the weather wasn't 30 below. Not a good look going out with jackets and looking for the coat check, and just trying to figure out what to wear that is warm inside but can adapt to it being cold outside. Some people don't even go out at all once it gets cold.

Friday night, I went to this NetParty networking event that they make you pay for. Not a good look. Everybody there was peddling their work and their company, I was there to peddle myself. And no one was having it. They couldn't be bothered.

"Oh, but my company does wonderful things for investment management."

"I'm sure you do...but are you single?"

I should have stayed at the restaurant I was at flirting with the cute husky California bartender. That was a much better look.

But I met up with some friends and we talked and once you have a good time with friends, it's not a total bust but as far as getting any new prospects. Busted.
