Indebleu and Lessons in Career Management

Posted on Jul 23, 2007

Jen and I hit indebleu on Saturday night for a sligtly more upscale dinner than usual. The food was excellent – we had the duck meatballs to start followed by the New York Strip (me) and the quail (Jenny). Jen was too full for dessert so that meant I had the very tasty l’opera dish to myself. So, only two minor gripes – first, though the wine list is long it is apparently not stocked very well, both of my choices were unavailable and so we went with a recommendation. That was served slightly too cold but was otherwise a good bottle. The other gripe (even more minor) was that the service was slightly slow and the waiter needed to get some voice projection lessons. I would still definitely recommend it, the issues were minor and the food was very good.

As for the lesson in career management – do not tell your boss you are thinking about switching to the management track from the technical track a couple of days before he goes on vacation – wait until he gets back. That way he does not gleefully (and somewhat evilly) set you up as his stand in for the duration of his vacation….
