I meant to put this in the details, but whatevers!
A couple weeks ago I met a young woman through work. To make conversation, I asked how she got into the wine business. She told me about her incredibly privileged, fortunate upbringing- her dad had a wine cellar, they were friends with winemakers, equestrian lessons, growing up on Martha’s vineyard, childhood visits to France etc. She’s around my age and has a job with a company that I wanted to get into for ages (before recently changing career goals.) And she said it was “so easy” to get a job there because she already knew all the right people. UGH.
At first I thought she was so over the top nice that it was fake- turns out, she really is that nice. She’s basically the sweetest person ever. I might ask her to lunch or coffee.
