Were you in Houston back in the 80’s when the price of oil dropped so low? During that time there was no traffic, I mean really NO TRAFFIC!

So since then heavy traffic means a good business climate to me. I can stand it.

I have conference calls with my LA and California counter parts. We’ve learned not to schedule them at 8:00 or 9:00 California time. It’s always Afternoon California time which is 3:30-4:00 my time.

Why? We haven’t decided if it’s the traffic, or the California culture. It’s sort of like Hispanic culture. Being fashionably late is normal. If a party starts at 7:00, you show up at 8:00 to make yourself seem important.

That’s fine in the social Hollywood world, but doesn’t make for good business partners.

The 80s in houston set the proper number of people that the system could come close to supporting. It has never be good to live in houston but it was more bearable then if you were employed. It feels like the area has doubled in size since those days though.
