Today is a fallacy. No traffic to the airport, but got NY's most cautious uber driver. A short security line, but it's filled with a holiday crowd with no idea how to unpack and pack for TSA.

Atlanta is the same. The line for coffee this morning took the same amount of time that pre check usually takes. And pre-check line was short but I was stuck behind a family of 5 with three small kids. Strange feeling on a Monday morning

It was bizarre.... no one else in precheck.... boarded early, took off early....

Ohare was freaking crazy. I just landed here ... never seen such long security lines.

On the client site in Austin for two days this week! Cheers 🍻!

Flying this week can be painful, with additional rushes this past Saturday for the people taking the whole week off, Wednesday and Sunday evening, with Sunday generally being the busiest single travel day of the year

I’m flying home from the client site Wed. It’s going to be a mad house

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
