Aging infrastructure, horrific traffic, massive uber presence, very diverse demographics, somewhat orderly humans, tiny living spaces, people bragging about the Hamilton tickets ... new york way of life. The boutiques, the Japanese restaurant clusters, are all small and not grand. They seem to be lacking the old money glamor that the older new yorkers would be characteristics of. Maybe this is the culture, that the space is really small both physical and mental.
Inside the 114 office, digital lab business casual, curiosity, smart people, young and restless, the banker visitors, somewhat rigid and stupid on the panel seats. They tend to be sticking to themselves most of the time.
Jenny came to have breakfast with me. She looks tired, a bit frazzled, but down under, she has not changed, she brags about the noble connections but none of them will be productive for her.
Kadar came for a visit. He looks wavering, a high attrition risk, he is disappointed that there isn't a banking relationship per se after losing the products, the locations and the yield curve will not add any positive flavor to a direct banking model.
Hectic trip and I'm glad that it has ended.
