The Espresso has kicked in.
Following my daily routine of surveying different websites as I eat breakfast at my desk, I didn't find any stories that particularly fired my imagination to include on this site. This put me in mind of the fact that I haven't done a "Ben - What is he thinking?" piece in quite a while.
On the promised Edmonton report. As it's now been 2.5 weeks since I returned from Edmonton (and the carpet-bombed postcards are reaching intended recipients), I don't think I'll be writing anything too comprehensive. So here follows a very quick summary of the trip... The flight on Westjet was fine (it's a bus)... the airport is much too far away from the city..the hotel had a great fully stocked gym... food in Edmonton is mediocre (with the exception of Earl's where I had an excellent warm Spinach salad)... Earl's young wait staff are perhaps not hired for their waitressing assets (nice heels)... my many meetings seemed to go very well although I have yet to actually close a sale (several are pending)...my tour guide Kevin was of great assistance and I hope we'll be able to make some big projects work between us... the West Edmonton Mall is a very large mall (I was unimpressed)... saw the movie Sideways and enjoyed it, but the more I think about it, the less I'm enthusiastic about it... the wine list at the Hotel was terrible.
I haven't been successful keeping up with my pop-up task list today as I'm now at 11 tasks to complete and the tally keeps on rising. Work continues to be very busy as I am now working on large projects in pilot, large projects in production and continuing to pound out marketing and new sales materials. Keeping abreast of all the different activities on the go is proving to be quite a challenge. The general atmosphere at Infoware these days is very much "nose to the grindstone".
Amanda is going to join me at Humberto's tonight to see what the workout is like - I think she's already a little leery of what she's getting herself into. My workout regime over the last few weeks has been much better, which has been good both for mind and body. I think it will be many weeks (months) yet before I am able to start blading to work. Tomorrow we (K and many others) are headed to St Lawrence Hall for St. Patty's day celebrations... the Quinns have ordered 100 kegs of Guinness. Friday we're headed to the Gladstone for some Bangra music in support of UofT's Nursing Program.
