                I've been binging a lot of horrors of late and as expected have had to sit through some awful stuff but these are well worth catching on Netflix: 1. Creep; 2. Gerald's Game; 3. The Devil's Candy. On the other end of the spectrum, but within the realm of Netflix, Asperger's Are Us is a heart warming doc!

                  speaking of exhibitions, was in Paris this week and went to see a Rubens portrait exhibition. Gotta love the dude, when commissioned by some rich lord to do a present for the prince of Wales, he sends a self portrait. . Queen still owns the painting at least. stunning

                        Went to the Ideal Homes Exhibition last weekend. It was a complete and utter load of cack. Probably didn't help that I was hungover as fuck. We did come across the Dublin Beds Company though. Still not sure if they are taking the piss with their logo or if they are completely oblivious to it

                              Plus, I'm too clumsy, I've smashed a few watches before whacking off tables and whatnot, it's too valuable to me to risk it.

                                I always wear a watch when I leave the house, an analogue one that I bought about 10 years ago for about 60 quid. Not the cheapest of course but just a reasonable price for a respectable watch. I wouldn't wear one of the big yolks you see some people with.

                                In 20 or so years I'd say very few lads anyhow will be wearing them

I presume the conference space is rows and rows of pretty lame stands and that the nearby coffee shops/steak restaurants are full of deal making and smoozing?
                                  Try to get to Sigma in Malta in 3 weeks time. Will be pretty much the same setup as Berlin. It's expensive (relative) to get a stand and some made more of an effort than others for sure. It was non stop flowing food and drinks on the floor, and most of the stands had a big enough meeting area to do the intros/negotiations for new meetings. All of our offsite meetings were in swanky restaurants with current partners rather than new deals. One was even done just driving around in a limo for 30 mins!

                                  One good thing about the conferences is free stuff, and I was also on swag duty picking up some bits and pieces to take back for the kids and the office. This is Day 1's haul but i had to take it easy on Day 2 because i'm travelling light

                                                  Yes, they knew we was wanted by Interpol but due to legal reasons they couldn't detain him.

                                                    Fraudster Musk getting more and more Trump-esque as the pressure mounts. (Trump would have been more succinct but he has had far more practice)

                                                    The other thing I want to mention—that there are a lot of articles about Tesla firing employees and layoffs and ... these are really ridiculous. And any journalist who has written articles to this effect should be ashamed of themselves for lack of journalistic integrity.

                                                    Every company in the world, there's annual performance reviews. In our annual performance review, despite Tesla having an extremely high standard, a standard far higher than other car companies, which we need to have in order to survive against much larger car companies ... you can't be a little guy and have equal levels of skill as the big guy. If you have two boxers of equal ability and one's much smaller, the big guy's going to crush the little guy—obviously. So, the little guy better have a heck of a lot more skill ... or he is going to be clobbered. So that is why our standards are high. They're not high because we believe in being mean to people. They're high because if they're not high, we will die. Despite that, in our annual performance reviews, only 2% of people didn't make the grade. So that's about 700 people out of 33,000. This is a very low percentage. GE, I don't know if they still do, but they certainly for a long time had a policy of firing 10% of their employees for performance every year, no matter what.

                                                    If you were to stack Tesla's performance later releases compared to other companies, the number would be low. So, the only reason these articles had any play whatsoever is because journalists and editors with low integrity fail to provide any context for where this stood because the actual article would've read, Tesla fires 2% of its employee base for performance-based reasons, a remarkably lower number compared to other companies. But of course, that would be a meaningless article, so they forget to include that. Shame.
                                                    GE got rid of formal, forced ranking around 10 years ago.
