Connections

I do not consider myself to be a person that "develops connections" on purpose. I don't seek out friendships with "influential" people, nor do I compete for the attention of anyone, because, well, I am much too lazy to do so.

Are there people that actually do this? How do these people have the time and energy? I heard all about how "you must be connected to make the ---- team!" and "I don't play games, so my kid always gets cheated..." while waiting in line to pick up recital tickets today. Is this really what happens when your kids get older? Must you "make connections" in order to help your children achieve their goals?

I hope not. Perhaps I was merely hearing backlash from few crabby ladies on a particularly crabby day...
