I have a job !-!-!

I found a job !-!-! I found a job !-!-! Its been over three years since I last worked at Motorola. I went to Europe hoping to get some international exposure and get a job. We'll ... I got both, but ironically the job set me back to the US !

I work for a company called zanox ... they are in the online marketing business. Its rather high tech, surprisingly interesting and hard to explain : )

I was in the US for about two weeks by the time I had my first guest … Sarah from Valencia, Spain. I had been so busy with my new job that I hadn’t had any time to explore the city or my neighborhood … it was nice to have a chance to finally step away and show Sarah around. A few days later zanox packed up the things in the Chicago office to attend a convention in NYC. I volunteered to drive a rented SUV there to carry booth etc. I left a couple days early so I could visit the parents in Boston and pick up some things I dropped off at their house a few years back.

The convention was good but tiring. On the second day, coincidently, Ingrid had an overnight layover in NYC … on her way from Denmark to Colombia. She came in late at night, we ate some sushi in Manhattan and early the following morning she made her way to Colombia as I drove to Chicago.

Here is the month of February in pictures.
