I work with hundreds of employees and hundreds of clients, and have seen all sorts of folks over time. Recently, there have been a couple of really terrible people though… these two basically have been harassing me nonstop to the point that I’ve had to get the police involved. Hopefully the police will be able to resolve this.

Dinner at Maple Block eating a full rack of pork ribs, afternoon tea at the Langham hotel, escape room game with her dad and Kristi and Leanne, then dinner with the family at Altadena Country Club.

I had an idea that it would be interesting to try to buy the Riverside Quarry and turn it into an adult outdoor amusement park. The biggest issue would be liability I think.

Activities that could be offered:

• Rock climbing (clean up the wall a bit more and make sure all the bolts are safe)
• Dirt biking / ATV rentals
• Paintball (have an enclosing fence to prevent balls from flying off)
• Golf driving range?

However, the research shows extremely clearly that football damages the brains of basically all players. The NY Times published an article showing that of 111 NFL brains studied, 110 brains had CTE – a degenerative disease linked to repeated blows to the head.… read more “Watching Football is Unethical”

 

AT&T Business Fiber had yet another outage again today, with 3 hours of downtime in my region in Culver City. I would highly recommend against anyone ever doing business with AT&T. Probably the worst vendor I’ve ever worked with.

Zayo is getting their fiber installed tomorrow morning, thank god.

I was able to work all day yesterday and also got my best 4 mile run of this year in. Made a lot of progress on bugs with our recruiting system. Went climbing this morning with David Paradiso, which was also really fun. Going to take a nap now and then get back to work. Haven’t had a drink in 3 weeks which I am also proud of.

 

I have been doing a ton of work lately to restructure Coalition so we can grow to a 1,000+ clients and a 1,000+ full time team members, including:

• Moving Jordan to COO
• Planning the promotions of others to fill critical positions
• Redeveloping Scoretask’s navigation to link to all important company documents
• Building on new Scoretask modules to support our work
