| Q6 Ability is nothing without Opportunity | | Creativity is Intelligence having FUN Quote:
Q6 He finally turned to the American man who'd caught up well and directed his very first personal question at him. "Mr. Vanderbilt, you currently reside in the United States, are you planning on moving to the UK if selected to be a part of the board? If not, how will that affect your ability to attend meetings that are called last minute?" Bearing in mind that inter-continental apparition was mostly illegal. Oh a direct question to him finally. And it was about logistics. It was bound to come up he figured “My family has property here...” to say the least, and no he’s not in a mood to start on the Vanderbilt history with real estate “...so its simply the question of setting something up for me on a more permanent basis again, as I had when I was working here. Now to actually relocate....” he paused for a moment “.... I can confidently say that when the needs of the Board require me to be here over extended periods they can rely on me to be here, punctually. I bear dual-citizenship so legalities of coming and going isn’t an issue. And I understand there are limits and strains to intercontinental Magical travel but I have done it more than a few times so its not that much of a big deal to me.” A Wizarding jet-setter for lack of a better term.
Now will he actually quit his job as a Director of a Department in the US Ministry just to move closer to London? Well he will need to see the fine print people. He knows his worth, and besides this was about being a school governor, which is generally unpaid, volunteer work and is rarely fulltime.... unless you’re the admin assistant slash receptionist slash gofer. Besides, how much press fodder would that be about finding the budget to pay 12 people full time for what is essentially half a days work a few days in a week? |
