This blog has history. Ten years ago I was working for a large bank in Switzerland. As an expat life could be pretty frustrating - the Swiss do everything their way. So every morning - usually after putting the phone down on yet another obtuse conversation - I'd vent my feelings to my long suffering co-workers. One even christened this routine as the 11 O'clock rant.
Ten years on and I'm a different person. When I was young I thought I knew everything. Now I know that really I know very little, and the older I get the more I realise the depths of my (our) ignorance. I believe this is called wisdom. I’ve travelled the world and learned patience too. But every day something somewhere will remind me how stupid people can be, and how dangerous such people can become if they end up in a position of authority. If we don’t stop them – then one day they may be in charge. Or are they already there?
