Why writing (naff) poems can help you grow or start a business
Let me start by saying this article really has nothing to do with poetry.
Hey munchkins!
This issue we’ve got 2x tickets to Gala Festival to giveaway from our friends over at Lemonaid! Make it snappy because the comp ends on Monday. I know we’ve only had 3 days of sunshine, but summer is on her way babies, I can feel it. In the meantime — we grind.
Read Why writing poems will help you run a successful business by my boss Adam, or how to work with a boss when you have a problem with authority, by me, and finally why that word doc CV of yours needs some attention.
There’s a new rat sticker to collect, and we’ve made new tees, hats and rewards if you get your friends to sign up to this newsletter, scroll to end share! Love you!!!
Good Jobs as always, at the bottom (secret: we’re hiring!)
Love, Isobel xox Editor of GJFBP

I’ll go first.
I’d just turned 18 and was working in a fancy hotel. For context, on my trial shift I dropped a entire plate of salmon down a woman’s back and still got the job. I’d only been there 3 weeks but it was summer, and I wanted to go on holiday with my pals. I asked my manager if I could book a week off and she said ‘‘No, if you book that holiday you won’t have a job here when you get back.” Anyway, Croatia was wicked.
She could be yours — I’m going to start a collection.
