Work Week

Edit: I typed this yesterday w/o internet access. Posting today.
Crazy week at work this week.

We are doing demos this week of our CRM milestone to internal (MS) and external customers which means I get to spend most of the week in Redmond instead of Bellevue. I wouldn’t mind except for that traffic to and from Redmond is pretty nasty compared to Bellevue.

On Thursday we’re having the company meetup which is the company wide Microsoft employees meeting at Safeco field. It should be pretty sweet. A lot of the execs talk and there are cool product demos. I’m excited to see what that meeting brings; maybe I’ll win a prize or something :)
In addition to all this craziness I’ve got to turn something in to my manager Monday that I’ve been working on basically since I started (in small increments). I’m a little nervous about having enough time to get it done with all the other stuff going on this week and me being in Victoria all weekend but, I should be able to manage.

HP Interns 2007

(full 10 megapixel)
These are the HP interns this year in a picture taken July 2nd. I would go through and name them all but that would take a long time and there are still one or two that I’m not sure on names with. Oh well, let me know if you recognize anyone :)

Hooray internships!

Edit: YAPB inserts the post at the time the picture was taken according to exif data, cool.

Perfect Week

This is the perfect week. Because the 4th of July holiday falls on a Wednesday we maximize overall week happiness. This is because the weekend is obviously the best part of the week, followed closely by Fridays. This week we get two of each; because we have one real weekend and one faux-weekendhave two virtual fridays (well one is real and the other is virtual). The point is we get more of the best days of the week this way.

I even get paid on Wednesday, coupling that with the fact that Monday is bagel day at work and Thursday is donut day, this is going to be one amazing week!

I’ve included the above picture to demonstrate in picture form the beauty of this week (compared to a typical week) in visual form using iCal and Photoshop. Enjoy the week!
