Well, we had an interesting weekend. We met some new people; some were great, some not so great. Hiking was fun - I was really exhausted afterwards, but I didn't wake up as exhausted as I thought I would be. I think that the person picking out the place to hiking and who started up the trail first was trying to impress the rest of us which his superior skill and knowledge. You can only hear the same stories (mostly made up) so many times before you just want to kill someone. His roommate was really great and so his is the roommates' girlfriend. I'm not sure how we are going to maneuver it so that the two great people come but leave the annoying one behind. We're smart people, we'll come up with something good.
I am not at all excited about having to go to DC tomorrow. Usually I really like DC. I get to go to Neuhaus. Who doesn't love delicious Belgium chocolate? Unfortunately this is another one of these crazy day trips. I'm supposed to leave Boston at 7am and arrive back at about 11pm. I'm so glad to be done with these crazy crazy 20 hour days. It's really just unnecessary and stupid in terms of long term growth of the company. It's a horrible short term solution to poor management. I'm not at all a fan of posers in the work place. If your a beta stop trying to become an alpha. You either are or you aren't - you don't become an alpha.
I realized the other day that the people that I'm closest friends with are mostly alphas. Let's not confused this with type A personality vs. type B personality (which oddly enough alphas and betas seem to have some correlation.) I also know of a lot of betas posing as alphas - who want to be alphas but just don't really know how. Knowing those alphas can be really helpful; but at the same time they are ones to handle carefully. It's really true - that alphas are driven by their own insecurities. There's some pandering to be done for these movers and shakers.
