I have been working at a company in Silicon Valley. It's been a great experience. Learnt a lot, met and worked with great people. Got to travel a lot - our other offices in Toronto and Quebec, customer offices in Kentucky, Nevada, California, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma. Trade shows in Nevada, Florida, Atlanta, Toronto.
And on my own time, several trips including New York, Buffalo, Las Vegas.
Attended thousands of meetings and teleconfrences, millions of email (it felt like it)
I worked long hours and put a lot of energy into the job, hence no entries on this blog :-), well thats my excuse.
Found a great hobby in board games, in particular, euro board games and found several groups to join. Met another bunch of great people through playing board games.
I belong to a book club where I dont have to read the book, thanks for the no pressure to read fiction books but still come along for the fun and sharing. More great people.
I have been asked a lot what do I like most about being in the USA.... that is easy ..... High speed, fixed price, unlimited internet access at home and on cell/mobile phone! You dont get this in other parts of the world, where eveything is metered. The more you use the more you pay and pay a lot. And because of this there is lots of free wifi available and every hotel has cheap or free internet access.... and the other thing...all the great people I have added to my world family.
Stay tuned for news of the next adventure coming next week.
Cya - found out this actually stands for something here - cover your ass(arse)!!!
