Long Day...

I spent the day in Fremont today at our NOC down there. The people down there are nice and the atmosphere is very casual. For the second time, they had a barbeque while I visited - steak, burgers, and polish dogs...and strawberry cheesecake to top it off.

I was in meetings all day. The four managers and our senior manager don't get in the same place often. So, when we do, it's meeting after meeting after meeting... We also interviewed a couple more candidates for the engineering positions. I just might have those positions filled by the end of the month...

I left the house before 6am and got back home around 7pm... Luckily, I got home in time to kiss the kids goodnight.

I went to Borders bookstore this evening. I had my mind on three things: ITIL books, CCIE books, and leadership audio books. I must say that the IT book selection is getting very thin - especially, the networking and IT management sections. I found zero CCIE books in stock and zero ITIL books. I did find a couple of audio books that I picked up and a couple of children's books. The guy at the register thought it was kind of odd. I told him that as soon as the kids listened to a leadership CD, they can read the Dora the Explorer book....
