"All over the World". Mighty important person in the Company!!

Perhaps I am a capitalist taking advantage of more affordable countries. Either way, I’m grateful for it. I like my people. Plus the work is challenging and rewarding. 

Friday evening I caught up with the Australian contingent before they departed Seattle. We had dinner with my old boss who semi-retired a few months back. For the first time we could have a real conversation without the professional guard up.

He opened up about his drug use. It turns out he'd take a small THC gummy before major meetings to calm his nerves and help him be more loquacious. Everything clicked. The days when he was serious and quiet, versus the days he was charming and talkative—I get it now.

It makes you think about all the small, secret things people do to simply get through the day. I can't say I'm not curious.
