back to business

Posted on August 28, 2008

offsite

coming right back from some relaxation i jumped right into our central region dpe (developer & platform evangelism) off-site in my new hometown of chicago. i think it was good for me to come into the off-site with some relaxation under my belt since the three days were jam packed and i felt exhausted after each one.

the one thing i do enjoy out of these off-sites is the ability to talk to incredibly smart people that i normally do not get a chance to talk to very often because we are all spread across 18 states within the central region of the us. these off-sites are mostly about figuring out how we can be more successful in achieving our commitments. the emphasis this time really seemed like cross-teaming which i love (there was also the extremely fun team ride on segways).

all-in-all the off-site was a success and i feel slightly drained sitting here in the loop office, but i know there is work to be done and a community to serve. so, back to business for me.

    LOL, what is that picture about? And is that Bill Steele in the back? I see the segway tours vests.

    lol. i probably should have got bill’s permission before i posted the pic, but i am sure he will understand. this was the beginning of the wildly fun segway tour of chicago (not as much a tour as a “segway free-for-all”)
