Interesting ride home tonight
Three high school boys sit across the way talking about girls.
Two women sit beside me talking about men.
I’m only riding four stops.
The boys talk about X who has the ball in his court and doesn’t act.
The women talk about the boyfriend who has the ring but hasn’t proposed.
The boys have lost all respect for X.
The woman’s boyfriend is waiting until he’s ready.
The girl is obviously interested. Waste.
Still for some reason he’s told his parents and they want him to propose over the holidays. No pressure.
The boys go to school in Manhattan but a couple of them live in Brooklyn.
One of the women is staying on the train tonight, she has a sister who lives in Carol Gardens.
Where?
Have you heard of the music club by Union?
On court street. Near the movie theater.
And the Tiki bar. Great restaurants too.
By the bookstore?
What about the one that got 2 Michelin Stars? Can you walk up?
Not that one. That’s near Atlantic.
No, probably need a reservation.
The smaller one. Closer to Carol Gardens.
But the food really is excellent there. Expensive.
West 4th. Transfer to the B-D-M and the A-C-E on the upper platform…

Blogging about work
I am a practitioner – not a consultant or trainer. My job is about execution.
What I grapple with day to day is specific to my workplace.
I am also an executive manager.
And so those challenges tend to be about people and teams.
So what of that is suitable for discussing in a public forum?
I cannot discuss our strategies and projects.
I need to respect co-workers privacy.
My success requires trust and credibility I earn as much by what I don’t say as what I do.
Finally, my opinions are packed in the baggage of my own limitations.
All this to say, I find it hard to take on the challenges of my work and write about it at the same time.

Verizon Wireless website is… (sorry)
This is the page that comes up when the Verizon Wireless customer portal is unavailable.
At least, that’s what I infer because nowhere does the page actually say this.
Rather it tells me I can browse their marketing site while at the same time listing all customer options in the top navigation. Clicking on account links like “pay bill” simply returns you to this page.
Only after logging into their site with more than one browser did I notice the title of the page is “sorry.jsp”.
