One of the top annoyances of working for a global company is the tendency for big conference calls to take place at 7 am and 7 pm to accommodate people’s schedules in China and the East Coast of the US. Aside from crushing my morning rowing sessions (which need to happen early because that’s when the water is flat and calm), the calls are tough because I travel a lot and tend to travel early in the morning in order to make morning meetings in North Carolina or New York.
Wednesday’s is a particularly big morning for global phone calls, and today is no exception as I have to present a big project related to the summer Olympics. I also need to be in NYC for meetings. So — no airplane as the phone doesn’t work on the Delta Shuttle, and the car is a tedious affair that doesn’t work if I need to present off of a powerpoint.
So, here I am on the Acela, somewhere west of Stamford, ready to present and the anxiety is killing me.
I heard you and you did good. Anxiety relieved.

It is very convenient and has wireless for those people that don’t have WWAN.
“Finally, an intelligent away to travel between Boston and New York! LimoLiner beats the airline shuttles and the Acela hands down for comfort and convenience. I am delighted to escape the Penn Station mob scene, the Logan security search, and the LaGuardia taxi crawl for the quiet atmosphere, friendly service, and productive work time of a Back Bay to mid-town Manhattan LimoLiner.”~ Peter Wood
Just wish they also went to Philly, DC, Baltimore.
