Oh yeah...and I'm very excited about a business trip I'm
taking the 23rd through the 26th. Usually when I travel for
work it is primarily to the Bay area or Boston. I get to
go to Austin for four days!!!! I'm spending the Sunday before
my meeting with Meg, a dear friend who moved away from us
and I miss her, her husband and their son IMMENSELY! I also
(hopefully) get to see Lethe on one of the days after I get
out of my meeting.
The good thing is that they scheduled the meetings only from
9 am until 2 pm, so that we could get 'other work' done and
account for time differences with others on the call. That means
that if I get a good deal of work done in the mornings (which
since my boys usually have me up at the crack of dawn won't be
any problem), I will have a good portion of my day in Austin.
When I go to the Bay area, I don't feel like I have any time
to do anything. They work you until 6 pm (8 pm to MY BODY) and
then I'm dead tired two hours after getting out of work!
(Can you tell I'm actually looking forward to this trip?)
Lethe - email me! When do you want to get together?

Are you driving or flying?

And the answer is yes. I'm flying and
I'll have a car while I'm there.

Today at 4 pm I find out whether I even have
a job, and so I wouldn't find out one way or
the other BEFORE then, my boss hasn't approved
my travel request yet in the system.
So...if I have a job, I'll be in Austin. If not,
I might be in Austin anyway, cause it won't matter :)
for the US, Canadian, and worldwide Partner web
sites. I work on different projects, such as
defining the partner web experience (how to
improve it), managing the collaboration environment
for our global sales organization's interface
with customers and partners, either lead or work
on teams to develop new tools for our partners,
and anything else I need to do at the time. I
sometimes do partner training and speak at different
events, whatever is needed from me. I hardly
ever do actual HTML anymore, but have kept my
hands in it just a bit.
I can't wait to see you...it has been way too long!
