Vegas Week

I am back from Las Vegas, back from the city of glitz and glamor, of sin and vice.  It was a far cry from my home here in Chicago, both in distance and in style.  I’m going to withhold my review of Las Vegas until the end of Vegas Week.  During which I will fill this little blog with posts about the trip, as there is far too much content for one simple post.

In non-Vegas related news, I’ve been playing catch-up at work.  It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but it took a little while to go through my email this morning.  The strange thing about having responsibilities is that without you, they go unfulfilled.  It’s good I wasn’t gone any longer.

I’ve been put in charge of training a new guy starting today.  Showing him around reminded me of my first day on the job.  Just like me he didn’t have a place to sit, so he spent most of the day over my shoulder in my small cube.  On the plus side, this finally prompted them to clean out a cube in the next aisle over, which I then began moving myself into.  It’s twice the size and I finally get to break out the brand new 8-port KVM and 16-port switch I’ve been sitting on for awhile.  I would say it’ll be nice not to be so cramped, but I know I’ll find a way to simply cram more equipment in it.

A co-worker and I took the new guy out to lunch, to the same restaurant I went to on my first day.  And just like my first day, I treated, as a little ‘welcome to the team’ gesture.

Sometimes… things go full circle…

Vegas week to follow.

Zel-kun out.
