I Met With a CEO Today, And It Was Cool

This morning I had a meeting with the CEO of one of the companies for whom I am contracting. So yesterday, I bought a new pair of shoes and pulled my suit out of the closet. I hate wearing suits, but it was appropriate, so I did it.

After the meeting, I couldn’t find anybody to validate my parking, so I just paid for it. It was a whopping $17.60 for 2 1/2 hours - average by New York standards, but sky-high in Los Angeles. But it was totally worth it. Even if nothing comes of the meeting, it was cool to get an hour of time from someone who has created and managed multimillion-dollar businesses.

I am a nerd.

    FYI - You can write off the parking as looking for a job next year on your taxes.
