I think that was a fair salary at the time. I was out of work and was prepared to work for that at his place but I was told he wanted kids. I can understand that. It was how he kept the place young and fresh. That was the business strategy, and it worked. The business strategy nowadays seems to be not creativity but alogrithms. Companies don’t want people with ideas. They just want people who process the material like a mincing machine. God it must be so fucking boring! I can’t do that. Soon they will not even need that. Everything will work on RFID chips. There will be no new products. There will only be reordering. Creativity is dead. Ideas are dead. Nobody wants ideas any more. As Stalin used to say; ‘Ideas are dangerous’ and we all live in a very dangerous world now. I pray to God it will improve for the better. As for writing my own blog, the reason I don’t do that is because every job I have ever had other than working at Saatchi & Saatchi, and my own company, I got bored with in 6 months because I had solved every challenge within that timeframe. Loads of people string it out and make a lot of money that way but I cannot do that. It’s the way I am. If there is no challenge I get bored. This is the challenge of the 21st century. How to prevent the human race from getting bored senseless out if their little skulls, because let’s be honest, life is dull without a challenge.
