WOW! A whole week

Feels like last week flew by. My new job is really keeping me busy and I've been going out a lot during the week. Seems like Friday and Saturday night are recovery days from the rest of the week these days. So things at my new job are really good. My boss was in town at the end of the week and we're really starting to make progress. A little background, this company has been operating in the US for about a year and a half and really have ZERO market presence even though the technology is really awesome. So we're trying to get things ramped up. We met with a PR firm on Friday who are known for being really aggressive and results-driven, which is what we really need. We need to make a big splash ASAP so it looks like we're going to hire them. I'm really excited about it, I left the meeting with a great feeling and then it just continued to get better throughout the day the more I thought about them. So things at work are great!
Now speaking of amazing careers, my Dad retired yesterday!! After 30+ years of stellar work in the forest products industry at the University of Montana he handed it off to his very competent #2, Todd. Sounds like he had a great last day topped off with champagne, dinner, drinks with his colleagues and lots of congratulatory phone calls! Congrats, Dad!! Thanks for always working hard for us, now your new job is fish and fish and fish! More celebration to come, including party and Missoulian feature article. YAY!
