Redmond, WA

Note: This was written in March of 2009.  I found it sitting in the drafts folder and decided to send it out.

I arrived in Seattle,Wa yesterday after a 3 hour flight. I was lucky enough to have my company send me out to Redmond to work with my team in person. I have been working on this team for about 5 months and never seen them in person. It is nice to put a face to those voices.

Our work site is surrounded by the Microsft campus. Actually, I have been told that they will take over the remainder of the buildings in the near future.

It is Saint Patrick's day and my co-workers didn't seem to want to go out. I'm still a bit under the weather anyway; who knows..I might find a pub anyway.

Oh, did I forget to mention, this area is full of old white people. I feel like an ambassador for the southern population :-)
