World Sojourner : 3760

He, he, ho, ho

Wonder if it’ll have Atari 2600 graphics? {sorry Divine Miss N, semi-cheap shot}

Someday, all the bathroom faucets will be mixed…

My posts are a little out of order, but oh well,  the last week or so has moved quickly.  Frankly, in hindsight, the entire experience moved quickly.  It seems like yesterday that I was walking into the bureau and getting acquainted with my new blogging location.

* Before I forget, thank you Nolan - I never met you but thanks to your poor WIFI security I was able to continue to live the wireless life I’ve come so accustomed too, while in New York. 

* My t-mobile wireless connection in the United Airlines lounge comes and goes so who knows when this will be posted. 

I think it’ll take a while for me to completely digest the last four months, 8 months, two years and hopefully when it all comes together I’ll be near a computer and write about it.

A few take-aways from my trip & time at NYU

* The teaching at NYU is excellent

* I met a lot of really nice people there

* I see very little difference between London and New York.   Both are nice places, but … (sorry DMN, oh wait I can write Natasja - err Suzy, wait did you reveal that too??)

* I repeat, I met a lot of great people at NYU

* Strategic problem solving should be done without bias and the process should be followed.  Period.

* Bring on Beer Blast Sundowners

* I liked NYU; but love London Business School where Global is global and it doesn’t take a project to build a relationship.

I’m tired and time is running out before my flight.  I had a good time, but my home and heart is in London (until August at least).

{editors note: this was finally posted once back in London}

Ever sit beside someone you don’t know, but just by their actions you can tell they are a total ass?  I’m currently chilling at La Guardia Airport waiting for my flight to DC (then back to London) when this guy sits down beside me.  He starts fiddling with a mobile phone, ruffling papers and then makes a couple ‘important’ calls back to the office. 

There’s a good chance he has to pay for it.

IT.

He’s now left.  My inspiration is gone.  But, as he hurriedly walked away I did say one of those prayers that come when I meet irritating as hell people - “Oh Lord, please don’t let me become or be that person.”

And, if I am that person (luckily I’ve noticed traits in others that I may have - or Mrs. M points out) then I work hard to dial those down. 

Oh, and he was a loud ‘chewer’ too - sorry, this line goes farther up in the article but I’m too tired to drag it up there.

Pretty remarkable news today about the discovery of an ‘earthlike’ planet 20 light years away.

To this, we must have a Monty Python tribute (sing along, you know you want too).
