Just whining, nothing to see here.
Just whining, nothing to see here.
(OP)
I gots stuff on my mind (corporate, not safety). Never navigated these shoals before. And pretty much all of my rather generous supply of mentors are in a position to use the info to financial advantage if I talk to them about it. Would they? Some might. I need to grow up and realize that they're businessmen first and my informal career advisors about 53rd.
So I need serious career advice and everyone who knows my career well enough to talk to me about it meaningfully is also too connected to my tightly knit industry for me to talk to them about the situation.
Whine. Sniffle.

Sounds like you are hesitant about sharing it even here...

You could use some FAQs in one fora to get around the problem.
You might even manage to get to sit around a table to discuss it.

I'd be glad to help.
So...what was the question again?
Seriously, from the OP, it "sounds like" you have an idea that might be worth money, but you think that sharing that idea might result in others taking your idea and profiting while you get nothing. It might be either a business opportunity or a patent-able idea.
I am in a situation somewhat like that. I deal with it this way: I have lots of ideas, and some of them come to me at work. I don't necessarily share all of my ideas with my employer - the ones I choose not to share, I don't "work on" at work. If it's important enough to me, I take those ideas off line for further "investigation".

My brother used to tell me that if I wanted to find sympathy, it was in the dictionary between shingles and syphilis.

Neither worked especially well for me.
Perhaps, in retrospect, I might have uploaded a JPG image.

If I gain any more weight I'm changing my handle to Deadly Double D's. Just kidding. Suffice it to say that unemployment is NOT good for the diet plan.
Hg, I can't guess what the problem is, but for what it's worth, there is no one out there who will protect you better than yourself. And most will gladly step on your neck to get a leg up before they stick their own neck out to help. Trust no one and act sooner rather than later.
OK, that should be enough of a day brightener. Stay away from sharp objects and high places.

I know it was trivial, but the laugh you gave me with the cutie quip earned a star.

RE: Just whining, nothing to see here.
Thanks for the various forms of support from various quarters. I've decided to let the situation marinate a while longer.

RE: Just whining, nothing to see here.
Meanwhile, for peripherally related reasons, I find myself once again in a situation that I would really like to talk over with someone, but everyone who's close enough to the situation to know what (and, more importantly, who) I'm talking about is probably someone the abovementioned "who" doesn't want me talking to.
Is this just part of being a grownup, or am I just going through a phase of stumbling into tetchy situations?

How about asking an old professor? I've called mine several times, to get their professional thoughts.
Good luck!
