Doing business with government

Soem things you just have to share: Is trying to sell to the public sector a waste of time?

And which utter ninny has wasted just how much on all these 'services' and sites?

Please, guys... stop. I'm in tears. Mais, apres la deluge... the depression.

Were it that I had read the further adventures of Vic before attending the Business/Local Authority social enterprise/Third Sector meeting t'other day, where lots of guys in suits from even more separate (but oddly similar-sounding) quango-esque bodies expressed how they were there to help, to the beaming nods of other besuited public service representatives who would later, I'm sure, dine at their hotels.

I'm not sure, but I think one of them was a representative of the funding body who had turned down my application for a grant on the basis that it was 'too left field.. and has never been done before'. Its name was: the 'Creative Innovation' Award.
