Old Coach at the End of the Bar | #95

I am supposed to be shooting the next Real Programmer episode today, but I had a really good wrap-up meeting that was important, and I'm waiting for one more piece I need to send a first invoice to a new client, and I want to talk about coaching. In another part of the forest, some folks are discussing the frustrations of what is, by whatever name we call it, coaching. And the long and the short of it is "they won't even try what I want them to do". These sorts of conversations are pretty much standard "coaches-at-the-bar" talk. After all, getting people to try things we want them to is pretty much the job. All jobs are like this. I can't imagine what my doctors, quaffing an icy one after work, say about *me*, for instance. "This idiot spends his entire adult life ignoring every aspect of his body's needs, and he won't even *try* taking a fifteen-minute walk every day. Now he whines at me all the time cuz his back hurts!" And so but anyway, you know what? Today, I'm that old doctor who sits down at the far end of the bar, sipping his scotch, watching Jeopardy, and occasionally throwing out some snarly annoying meta-commentary.
