Wrong Way



Got on the train in the wrong direction after lunch with Mr. Gilbert. What a great mistake. Beautiful sun and 60 degrees.

Yea, I might get some catch some flack from the man but I'm learning not to care. And, its making me better at my job.

A novel concept, the idea of putting forward less and recieving more...but such is the preference of the management.  Am I the one to argue with results? No. So I play by the rules created and get in line.

Its absurd. Its the man.

Kid got iced.



Mom, to be "iced" is to be presented with a Smirnoff Ice Beverage, largely known as a 'girls drink' - not to detract from women as they are some of my favorite people.

You are then peer pressured into chugging the drink, if you will, down on one knee in a semi prostrating manner as if being knighted by the majesty himself.

Largely, when iced it comes as a surprise followed by humility and then a looming stomach ache from massive amounts of sugar, carbonation and the fact that you had been 'had'.

This somehow reminds me of my day job.  Whether I feel like pressures initially made me choke it down and now Im feeling worse for wear or what. All I know is that it does not leave me the least bit buzzed after the fact.

God save the Queen.

W.H.



50 degrees in DC.

Now if I could just lose my desk.
