Today while I was pacing around on a work call i came across a notebook. it was sitting on a pile of things that were getting moved. As I listened i picked it up and absentmindedly started to thumb through it. .. then I recognized the writing.. it was Sam’s
i stopped listening to my call..
the notebook had only a very few pages used.. sam had written his name int he front
I had a great visti to my friends in Poughkeepsie today.. I did a talk with all the site managers in the morning.. which was fun.. THen I got to sit in on a ‘Radical Recess’ meeting. It was an ongoing exploratory hacking group set up to encourage folsk to explore our hardware and software.. It was great hearign abotu the projects folks were doing.
THey even gave me my own ‘wild duck’ that they’d all signed.
I’m eager to come back and visit and see what they’ve created !
Oh.. another cool thing. My firend Sandy sent me a link to an article in 7Days called An A-Z Guide to Vermont’s Tech Ecosystem. htere’s a really nice picture of me.. and I ven got my own letter J !
THanks to my good freind Cathy for including me there !
There’s definitely disturbance in the force. All the churn at work is causing folks to get tense and edgy. I’ve had several folks raise their voices in conversations without meaning too…
And I’ve done the same thing. In my 30 some odd years of work I’ve only raised my voice a handful (ok.. maybe 20 handfuls ?) of times that I can remember.. honestly.. and about of those have been in the last week.. Its easy to blame someone else’s shortness on the zeitgeist.. but when It happens to you.. you really need to step back and reconsider..
I love my coworkers too much to be angry at them..
Obi-wan.. you’re our only hope
-nite all, nite sam
-me
ps. I did have a great meeting with old friends tonight.. great to see bruce. bill , ed and jim !
My one day trip to New York on Monday turned into a two day trip and now more. My work from yesterday ended up lasting late into the night so I ended up staying. That Turned out to be a good thing because the work extended until late today. That would've had me traveling home tonight just in time to turn around and drive back to Poughkeepsie tomorrow night. I took advantage of that extended-stay to hang out with my friend Jeff and Chandu. It was good catching up with both of them.Tomorrow I'll make my way up to pok in prep for my talk on Thursday.
Got to sleep now… More tomorrow. Night all, night Sam
