Amsterdam Convention Friday
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008
Since we were in Europe, it was assumed that most of the convention-goers would probably prefer to get out and see the local sites rather than stay around the hotel. But since I was in Europe for a full fifteen days, and was at this point just about to complete my first week, I was looking forward to some standard convention fun without all the hustle and bustle.

The second one was McDonalds. Read the rest of this entry »
Anthony Munoz and the Associate Manager Outing
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008
I don’t talk about work a whole lot on my website, unless it is something dramatically significant – like a job switch or friends who I have made through work. I enjoy my job and am thankful for it, but the day-to-day activities wouldn’t hold much interest to the average reader – and of course, there’s always the risk of saying something stupid and getting fired! But seriously, the second week of September saw a couple of work-related events actually worth reporting. Read the rest of this entry »
