Sometimes Tea is Better

(March 26, 2010) When the crowd zigs, sometimes it's best to zag. I met a young, extremely professional senior associate for a cup of coffee. Unfortunately, about seventy-five other people showed up as well. The line was long and the milk wasn't frothing fast enough, so we jetted across the street to a quieter tea shop and enjoyed a relaxing cup of tea. I’m not usually a tea drinker but it was delicious. She worked for a “turnaround” consulting company and told horror stories of companies in decline. Extra motivation to work a couple extra hours on Sunday… Time to zag again.
