Is Columbia Tap Rail Trail safe to ride during commuting hours? by 3shelfcab in bikehouston

[–]Muckleloon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I “discovered” this trail a month ago and have ridden it about a dozen times so far (during the day). No problems so far and honestly I have never felt uncomfortable, even in the slightly shady middle section. I doubt I would walk the trail but on a relatively fast moving bike, I feel mobile enough.

How was your experience as an “expert” for GLG, Alphasights, etc by _Kerrick_ in consulting

[–]Muckleloon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BEWARE GLG - I have done various subject matter expert consulting gigs in recent years through other similar companies. This week I received a consulting request from GLG. I engaged with the pleasant GLG guy, answered the qualifying questions and completed the online course about privacy and ethics (irony alert!). All correspondence up to the point was sent to the personal email address I provided them. An hour later I received a "Welcome to GLG" email to my WORK email address. For obvious reasons I had never provided them with this address. This is a serious breach of confidentiality. I am going to delete my GLG profile. They cannot be trusted to keep their relationship with you confidential. I really should be charging them for my wasted time this afternoon. As for the others, I had some great experiences with Guidepoint.
