It’s been a stressful but exciting last couple of weeks. I left LearnKey and started working as a Group Program Manger for Morse Best located in downtown Seattle. I’m having a great time working with a group of very passionate and creative coworkers. Whereas it sometimes felt like we were working against what the customer was asking for at Learnkey, at Morse Best everybody is very concerned and committed to deliver exactly what’s expected from the customer. This requires us to be open to ideas and suggestions that come from customers who use our services.
It’s great to be back in Seattle. I thought I’d miss working over on the comfortable Microsoft campus but I’m enjoying the downtown area and all interesting people, foods and smells it has to offer. For lunch I’ll walk a few block to Pikes Market, grab a lemonade and take in the sun at the small park overlooking Lake Union. I’ve been commuting on an express bus from the Lake Stevens area until we move into our home mid August. We found a nice home near the Silverlake area with a big yard for our kids and dog to enjoy.
I’m in dire need of a new cell phone. Kim needs a new phone more than I do so I’ll probably replace both phones very soon. I was sold on the Treo 650 for Sprint service but after having a Windows Mobile based GPS system to play around with last week, I might be better off with a Windows Mobile based device with GPS. But that still leaves my phone problem to solve. I look forward to the day that my PDA is able to handle phone, mp3, GPS and PDA duties.
