I don't care that its Friday night and I'm at the coffee shop

-

I came to the coffee shop tonight to work on my personal design related website. Do you think I got much done. Nope! Did bills, started my freelance taxes, and now posting a blog.


Today was a calm day at the office. My team's director, Robert announce he is leaving T-Mobile and we were all bummed even though some of us won't be there either.

I learned a lot from working with him. If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have had as good of a chance getting into Wongdoody. He supposibly gave his personal recommendation to the president of the company. He did not have to do that but that was his character. He supported and believed in his team. Granted there has been crazy times at the office but he has been a wonderful leader amongst the craziness. When he knew he had to lose me as a contractor, he recommended to me an amazing company that I have had my eye on for the last few years and I am so thankful of his thoughtfulness.


The advantages of taking the bus.....
My main manager was working from home today and asked me for a favor. An odd but very cool favor. To drive her car home. I told her I don't like driving big cars and she replied, "no worries, mine is a tiny Mercedes convertible." It was a nice car. Very quiet and really pretty. But I can see how some may feel claustrophobic in it. Its cool she trusted me with it. I would not have done it if I didn't feel comfortable driving it. It was only 35 degrees so I didn't have the top down!

Its been a while since I posted here. May was an insanely busy but AMAZING. There was the Highline High School fundraiser dinner. I never recalled my high school having fundraisers and since I don't have kids, I told Carinna I would join her for her school's fundraiser auction/dinner. It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar...

Summer came and went

Where did the summer go and what did I do. SOOOOO much. It was a great summer. I only ended up camping once but it was a good one. I went to PARIS! Which was gorgeous, romantic, rich in foods and simply breathtaking.  I wish I had time to post highlights of my summer but I can only suggest to check out all my photos since May on Flickr. It was a good summer in Seattle.
