Work at Palm is kind of up and down. There are times when I've got things going on, but there are also times in which I've got nothing. The HP/Palm merger makes things a little more interesting as well. Lots of things going on regarding that. And everyone's got it on their minds. I'm finding things out in bits and pieces, none of which I am able to write about. I definitely, definitely don't want HP's legal coming after me.
But I think I'll be here when the deal is finalized. Looking forward to that. What luck I have that I am getting to see from an inside perspective what is happening with this big merger/acquisition.
I met Jon Rubinstein, the CEO of Palm, yesterday (Friday). After a speaker series, I was walking up the stairs and saw him climbing up as well. His office is on the fourth floor. I guess he prefers stairs over elevators, too. Anyways, I slowed down and introduced myself. I think I'm finally starting to feel more comfortable in the office. I hope so. I mean, it's about time. I've only got 10 more weeks.
Regarding activities outside of work, I've been running a lot lately (as I mentioned previously... I want those good looking legs back). I pretty much run the same course, but I'll change it up once I'm more in shape and I can handle longer distances. I bring this up because I just found out that I've been running by a hidden cache (redundant). Saw the description on geocaching.com and I think I know where the microcache is hidden! Next time, I'm going to look for it even though I don't have a GPS system.
The weather yesterday and today has been in the mid-80s. So it's kind of hot... for this area. Definitely the hottest it has been since I got here. I still refuse to turn the AC on though.
Hoping for more adventures in the near future. Things have become a little dull for me. Want/need for things to pick up!
