I mentioned a little while ago that Joe 90 had come to stay with us after I'd arranged for him to have an interview with the people who share my office. Yesterday he resigned, causing mammoth upset amongst friends and family, and immense embarrassment to me. For someone interested in films, it was a dream job; a golden opportunity and one that is never likely to be repeated. Bafflement abounds.
Every one thinks it is folly of the first order. It is.
I suspect he will look back in ten, twenty, thirty years time and realise how foolish this selfish act has been.
