 |  I travel the country on business, sometimes the world. Come see where I've been. |
San Francisco, Ca. The week of 5/20 found me in San Francisco for a class. I've spent some time in San Francisco, but it was long ago. I've been there on business 2 or 3 times now, but never in downtown San Fran. And, I wasn't this time either. I was in south San Francisco this time, just north of the airport. It was a fun, but tiring week for me. It didn't start out the best either, but it wasn't due to something I didn't do, or did. Let me explain. The class this week was another of those Networking classes. I have finally taught it enough recently to get the flow of it. What? I don't have the flow down yet, even after teaching it for so many years? Well, it's been modified so much that the flow has changed. Not only that, the course now contains a lot of information about the new router in the system. For some reason this, I found it difficult to really get this router into my brain properly. But I have it now. All we need to do in the training department is straighten out a couple of steps in the hands-on activities. So what happened that wasn't my fault? We ship a large Pelican Case to the customer for this class. In this case, it can be one that contains the router we manufacture, or the new router made by Juniper. Evidently the Project Manager asked for the router we manufacture, since they currently have this router and will for the next year or so. However, the customer wanted to be trained on the new Juniper router. It wasn't until we opened the Pelican Case that we discovered this. As a result we had to scramble a bit and get the correct case sent to us. My support team was fantastic and had the new Pelican Case shipped so we could use it when needed. I enjoyed my time there, but found it difficult to drive to dinner. You might think this is crazy, but again, there's a reason behind everything. For example, the students in my class recommended a nice Mexican Restaurant in Daly City. I found the place easily. However, or but, there were no parking places nearby. I found one, but it was about a 5-6 block walk up, or down, hills. (I mean, you know SF is not known for it's hills after all). I decided to go elsewhere. Even then I parked at least 100 yards away.... I know, I know, I have it so tough, huh. It was fine really, but it was like that all week long. My upcoming schedule, as of now Week of: June 3: Vacation! June 10: Vacation! June 17: Tennessee June24: Halifax, Nova Scotia July 1: Holiday week July 8: Fort Bragg NC July 15: Work From Home July 22: Los Angeles July 29: Schaumburg Illinois Aug 5: Cavalier AFB Aug 12: Los Angeles Aug 19: International Travel Aug 26: Frankfurt, Germany That's all for now. Til next time, keep on writing, most of all, keep on loving those special people in your life! Sum1 |
