the day of no air conditioning

the office next door, which for some odd reason shares the same AC unit as our office, holds onto the service agreement - the main building does not. So of course the AC breaks down on one of the worst 100+/super humid days, the other office feels fine and will call the repairman later. Yes, we are sweating it out. Oh my, now this is the perfect time for Nelly's song.

the day the subways did not run
everyone in the streets, so not fun
I walked to work
realizing trains are much of a perk
but saved two dollars
and since I was late, I gave work a holler
MTA, you suck

seriously, noI know, I know. It's summertime and it's Friday, TGIF by the way, but seriously no. Casual Fridays in the summer never never justify Hawaiian shirts with faded jeans. A gentleman steps onto the NJ Transit bus in the morning dress just like that. I mean, thankfully so I just saw him getting on the bus, I didnt have to see him all day as a reminder that we are in the office and not in Hawaii where those shirts make perfect sense. As the locals would say - Pûhâ hewa ka honu i ka lâ makani. (just look it up)

There is a foreign film titled, My Best Friend.

here is a quote:

Friendship's a myth.

... You make friends with everyone.

Everyone's the same as no one.

very relevant to networking. I mean, how many of those people on our contact lists, how many people in our databases do we have where we do not know their faces, how they sound in person, if they're sloppy eaters. Treating contacts like random people on the street equals nothing more than the strangers you glance at on the subway.
