Isn’t it odd how the only time you encounter the expression “proven track record” is on a CV, and the only people who tend have CVs are those looking for work, and many of the people looking for work either don’t currently have it, or aren’t enormously enjoying what they’ve got?

Which points up an anomaly, or possibly even a paradox: Who are these misunderstood people? How have we so badly mismeasured them?

And to you, silent heroes all, with your proven but yet disregarded track records: Take comfort — for, as the JC likes to say, comfort is a dish best served cold — in the old saw: the market can stay irrational a lot longer than you can stay gainfully employed.
