Decisions, Decisions

My post of Wednesday last week has elicited all sorts of e-mail requests for further editions of the “Corporate Finance for Dummies” series.  Anonymous queries from people obtusely describing themselves as “an economist with Friend’s First”, “a director of the central bank”, and a “pig farmer from Co. Sligo” make a strong case for me to continue to the précis of major financing and re-financing events of corporate Ireland.  

This creates something of a dilemma for me.  Firstly, it starts to draw me away from my goal of becoming “the thinking man’s Anne-Marie Hourihan”.  Secondly, it starts to impact upon my ambition to write a one woman play about living in deepest, darkest Dundrum with Orla Barry.  (Sorry, of course I mean, write with Orla Barry a one woman play…. not a play about a woman living with Ms Barry!)  But perhaps most pertinently, it would mean that my job title would almost certainly have to change to “Financial Consultant”.  And regular readers of Blankpaige know how I feel about that.

So what should I do?  This is a bigger problem than my bloggers block?  Of course, I believe that it is all a conspiracy by Fiona Looney to see off any rival to her crown as wittering female writer.
