Quite the day
Interesting day today. Beside some time spent doing typical work tasks early in the day, I had my review (which went really well), and the afternoon was spent doing filming & recording for a video demo of a new feature of SuperSweetCo’s flagship product. I was picked to do this work since I was responsible for designing the feature, but it was a pretty stressful thing to do, and I now fully appreciate professional voice actors. It’s hard work, trying to time a script to a video. I’m pretty sure it was dreadful, but I won’t won’t know for sure until early next week.
After work, I spent some time hanging out with some coworkers; first in the office break room sipping on beers, and later at another coworker’s place in NW Portland. The coworker was hosting a poker night, and other SuperSweetCo employees were attending so I figured I’d go hang out for a bit. While I didn’t join in on the gaming it was nice to spend some time with coworkers in a setting far removed from work.
After that, Snooks and I went to Moon & Sixpence for some beers before calling it a night. Had a great time hanging out.
Oh, and Kelly seems to be having a great time. All day she was taunting me with photos from her camera of her visit to the Met, MOMA, pubs, and photos of New York city at night. She also sent me a text message about how she got her photo taken with David Hyde Pierce. And no, I’m not jealous of her adventures or anything. Heck no.
Oh, and I’m very annoyed that it’s the last day in August, and watching it get darker earlier and earlier every day. I already miss the days it was light until almost 10pm. Hrmph!

While, yes, I am having a fabulous time, you are greatly missed!
We’ll definitely have to plan to come back, there is sooooo much to do and they have ample Smithwicks here, while a pint is upwards of $7.50 YIKES, its still damn good beer. Surprisingly the wines are cheaper and the cocktails run about the same as Portland.
So far I’ve had nothing but wonderful culinary experiences. I should be blogging soon, I may have you set-up a photo site for me for the trip!
Love you and miss you terribly.

$7.50 for a pint? That’s just crazy! And that particular beer doesn’t have to travel as far as it does to get to Portland. Hurmph!
Glad you’re having a good time. And yes, you should blog. You could upload a photo or two.

Tis, true, about the beer!
The pictures off my camer are too big and won’t automatically shrink to be blog compatible and Gimp is hard to work with to reduce the size of an image, although I could try again, I suppose.
Okay well, love you and I’ll see you tomorrow.
