Take a Walk in My Wooden Shoes
It’s nice to be home after a fairly long, draining trip to the Netherlands. It was a good training program, and I was very glad to finally be able to make it. Noordwijk was a very pretty beachside town, and Amsterdam slightly exceeded expectations. I would probably travel there just to see the Van Gogh museum, but touring there is mainly about getting a feel for the city and touching some of the history. Climbing up the bell tower in the Westrkirk was also a nice experience.
I got back to the office today to find that the Turkish government has capped the price on gas in a populist lunge at the oil industry. The cost of this is enormous and will likely leave some big-time damage in the broader market (even with the independent dealers). You can almost feel all the net present value models shifting downward as you sit in the office.
The more I work under my new time management methods the more I believe in them. The inbox is really the enemy.
