I am sitting at my new desk. It is located at MessageOne’s world headquarters here in Austin. So far (all 2 days and 2 hours of it) it has been a good experience. The people I am working with are smart and dedicated.
I’m not a big fan of my commute. It is not that it is far or time consuming (I had both when I lived in NoVA), but it is painful because it is all surface streets with lights and schools and people who have no sense of direction. Oh well. I’m here for awhile so I might as well get used to it.
I’m doing OK in my NCAA pool. I got 28 of 32 games in the first round; all of my 2nd round teams remained. I missed 2 major ones in the second round with Maryland and Texas losing- but I still have my Final 4 intact. We are using a 1-2-4-8-16-32 point system; but I am digging Brendan Loy’s 5-7-10-15-20-25 point system. Maybe next year I’ll try and get that system used in my local bar pool.
Happy Hump Day Everyone!
Does Jared still work there ?
Yep Jerrod is still here. Somehow he is pretty senior in IT operations… very interesting situation.
gopi came up to me yesterday and said ” you miss steve right?” then he punched me, not quite the same but the sentiment was appreciated.
Of all the things i miss about IBM… wait, I really don’t miss it.
