This is when you want to be in LA - I know this much now. I have been inside in meeting rooms all week from 7am - 6pm and that has been uniquely tiring. We brought our big customers in from Houston, Singapore and Malaysia to give a training session on selling into a new market. Learned some and taught some - kind of fun. Too much food. But, I changed plans and will be taking a train down to San Diego tomorrow morning to see Maggie and Bryan for a day/night. Should be fun and relaxing.
No new snow today on Baker anyway, so I decided not to rush home.
That can wait until next weekend...
So strange how big this world is. Sitting in a room with a Chinese born Singapore business owner and two very engaging 30-somethings from Malaysia while some good-ole boys with a great business sense from Houston provide unlimited input into our markets lets you see how global the oil industry is in every sense of the word. At a point, I was discussing a project I worked on in which the customer from Singapore had supplied several pull-in lines to a Japanese shipowner directly and our Houston-based customer had supplied a different set of pull in lines for a different purpose to a Houston based sister company to the Japanese company. All these very expensive ropes ended up on the same massive oil production and storage vessel headed for the deep waters off the coast of NW Australia. What? Huh?
there must be more good than bad, or we'd already be gone...
