On the road to Chico

My day started very early with packing. Had to clean out the car and wire up all the fun electronic gadgets and whatever. Then I got to work and met with Gary all morning. We were wrapping up some stuff we started yesterday about modularizing the training courses. I also called this guy who yesterday was asking about the Outlook example I did. Basically, he wants to build a task management system with PopChart but without Exchange or anything. So I did some research, and hopefully it will turn into some consulting for the company (i.e. me) so I can have a distraction from docs. Oh, and it appears I might be doing a training class out in DC in the middle of November. So I hurriedly wrapped up things at work, then joined the development team down at Ruby River where we were saying goodbye to Dave. It was his last day.

And then we hit the road. It was Neal, Jessica, myself, and a girl named Erin who heard from her father (an ultimate coach at Chico) that we were going to be in the neighborhood and wanted to hitch a ride. She's pretty cool and funny. She converted to the church five or six years ago and has a very interesting perspective on things. It was a long drive (especially since my GPS didn't tell us the right place to turn), but fun nonetheless. We're staying with this random family in Chico tonight. I'm honestly not sure if any of us even know them, but they're Mormon and you know how Mormon's all have connections.
