Last Monday seems so far away...I can't even remember what went on that far ago. I keep thinking I've been at this job for nine months but it hasn't even been six yet! The big events this week were a big sales meeting on Wednesday. I started a 45 minute presentation at 4:30 (hoping to be done by 5;30 or 6 and at 10 to 7, I stopped to call the other scout master to say I was inextricably stuck. At 10:45, I just got up and walked out and went home. Thursday was sales engineer training which I was in on. Friday, I was triple booked in meetings most of the day...it's pretty busy. Friday night home at 11. Saturday, worked most of the day and then back to the office til 2:45 a.m. getting ready for a demo at the National Association of Broadcasters this week in Las Vegas. Sunday night I stopped by as we were streaming the super bowel of soccer in Mexico (Chivas vs. America)...quite the operation with a satellite feed in from Mexico (we have a big satellite dish outside the building) to a huge room of computers where we turn the feed into files to stream on the Internet. It then heads back on down to Mexico where they watch it...if they can get it. The infrastructure doesn't seem to be that good...in some cases, we think it's hooked to wire fence!
But, yesterday I mowed the lawn for the first time this spring. It looks nice and feels good to have all the trees trimmed. I bought paint for my bedroom but haven't painted it yet. Tonight, I went over to the Hunters and we got them set up on Skype and then visited with Grandpa and Grandma for a few minutes and Emily, Macie, Grant and Abby who were there. I'm looking forward a good nights sleep and hopefully a good week this week with all the other execs at the show...Maybe I'll get something done! Good to talk to all of you and see so many of you this week.
Love,
Peter
