San Diego.... How do I love thee? Let me count the ways....

The other day my boss and I drove up to Pasadena, California (2 hours away) for a 2 hour session on healthcare reform. When we got there, as it turns out, the speaker decided not to show up. So, we got back in the car and drove 2 hours back to San Diego. I got home and needed nothing more than to get to the beach and stretch out my legs.

I've seen so many wonderful ocean sunsets since I moved here, but this time I remembered my camera. It was fabulous, and everyday I'm reminded why I love being here.

Starting a new job? What not to do...

So, I've been reading this book, The First 90 Days, in hopes to be a better employee and to start my career off on a good foot. Well today was my 21st day of being at my job and I started it off by doing something that Michael Watkins failed to mention as no-nos in your first 90 days. Let's just say that I was working, and my tall skinny CPU somehow fell to the ground with a very loud thud, I thought, "how embarrassing" little did I know how embarrassing this little occurrence really was, my hard drive completely broke. :(

It was a rough start to my return of my 3 day weekend. And I would just like to add an addendum to Michael's book:

1. Don't break things at work
2. Always backup everything on your computer
