In the Middle of the Curve - Tuesday, August 19, 2008 - CommentsEvenings alone
I was reading in Management Today magazine about a new website called SkyLounge.com, which connects business travellers who want to meet up with like-minded souls when stuck in a strange town on their own with nothing to do in the evenings. Not a bad idea if you simply have to talk to people non-stop in every waking hour, but I must confess I enjoy the rare chance for some time to myself. Where I most miss company is if I'm somewhere nice and want to take a look at the sights. I've never lived alone or travelled alone voluntarily, so I'm simply not acclimatised to solo tourism.

All reasonably small problems. The Director posited that the uneventfulness of the implementation was a result of the very painful meetings. I noticed that the last 2 weeks before the go-live people stopped ...
