Whoa…where has the summer gone, *ahem* and the updates to this site?
\nLast week my boss found we were heading for Nashville this year… things
\nwill be interesting over the next couple weeks, it seems she has had it
\nout for me for awhile now… Both of the phone interviews lead to on-site
\ninterviews… I already got my rejection from one of the companies and am
\nstill waiting and hoping on the other job. We went to the bookstore to
\npick up a GRE prep book for me, not sure if I see myself going back to
\nschool, but it is something I have been thinking a lot about lately.
\nSo far our summer has been pretty un-exciting (could be the reason for
\nlack of posts on here?) We had planned to go up north to stay with Susan’s
\nfolks for the weekend of the fourth. Unfortunately I was unable to go. The
\nFriday beforehand I was told I needed to get a bunch of stuff done for our
\nclient out in California. Not wanting to get sent on site again, I stayed
\ndown and worked through the weekend. Susan took the dog and found out he
\nisn’t really fond of the water.<\/p>\n
As you can see on the gym page, I’ve been able to do quite a few races
\nthis year. My times seem to be getting better overall, but my best times
\nare when it’s raining out… who said running in the sun was fun? I’m
\nstill trying to get my training in for my triathlon in September, it’s
\ngetting closer, and I’m getting more excited. I’m getting a lot better in
\nthe water and am pretty sure I won’t drown during the event. There’s been
\ntalk of doing a 1\/2 marathon in Nashville next year, whether we sign up is
\nyet to be determined.<\/p>\n
All the extra work I put in to getting our client live, I was still sent
\non site a couple weeks ago (whatever happened to restricted travel?)
\nThings went a lot better this time, most likely because I wasn’t sent by
\nmyself… They actually bought lunch for us a couple times and took us out
\nto dinner! We went to a few different places, including a Mediterranean
\ncafe, an Indian restaurant, and a seafood place. It was all really good,
\nespecially the seafood place. Our customer is finally seeing what it is to
\ndeal with the third party company in the project and I think they realize
\nit’s not us that’s the problem… hopefully we will get them running our
\nnew software soon with no problems (or I’ll have another job \ud83d\ude00 ).<\/p>\n
It was our annual users group last week, and I had to give a
\npresentation Monday. Luckily I got there early, as my boss said her laptop
\nwas set, but she never tested the software. I spent a good 45 minutes
\ngetting everything set up so I would have something to show during the
\ndemo of the software I had been working on. I spent some time talking to
\none of the video vendors later in the week, and the things they are doing
\nwas pretty slick. They were excited about the video software I had created
