His service has taken about three hours both times and it requires an hour total round-trip time to drop and fetch him. It’s quite a service we offer.
However, we are not taking him all the way home. It’s too far. We’d spend the whole time on the road. He doesn’t want to sit in the customer lounge. I don’t blame him.
I’ve mentioned to management that we should look into slot machines in the lounge as another profit center. Folks could pay us to wait for their cars and then pay us again. I’m not getting a lot of traction on that.
I could take John to the mall. Not a shopper. John like to talk sports but we have to move to politics, tribes and casinos for me to get a reasonable word in.
Actually he’s an IT guy. We have talked about Cloud Computing a bit. He has cautionary tales. Your cloud is not in the cloud. It’s on a farm. Sometimes the farm buildings get seized by foreign governments. That is a cloud that rains on your parade.
He also knew of a wind turbine company out of Madison. Their engineering designs we’re hacked and sold. They were losing bids for a while before they realized that they were competing against their own product offered at a lower price. Not willing to spend a decade and hundreds of thousands of dollars with international intellectual property attorneys against the Chinese, they folded up and blew away.
The cloud is the way the wind is blowing at the moment. You should think about your rain gear and your parade. Maybe you could get gear from Land’s End. At least you can return it.
The picture is from the bridge between the casino and the parking structure. John’s phone gets very limited reception in the building. I had to go in and fetch him.
I’m glad I didn’t lend him any money they way he tells it that day.
