(no subject)

Back from my first for-reals business trip, which was incredibly busy and pretty fun. Turns out though that after interacting strictly with coworkers for a couple days, my sketchy-under-normal-circumstances view of appropriate work etiquette takes a turn for the even-worse: ( because sometimes writing it down stops me from stressing out about it. )

On the awesome side though -- and there was lots of awesome -- we went by the SF office and rode the slide (how come we don't have a slide?), I met tons of awesome and relevant people, I got to spend not-at-a-computer time with my coworkers who really are pretty fantastic, I had a delicious and tremendously expensive meal (yay, expensing it!) in which I actually liked a piece of lobster sushi and had the most amazing rare kobe beef ever and tried bacon-wrapped scallops (mmmm yum) and sake (not bad) and roe (seriously awful, but I ate it) and talked to people terrifyingly many levels up the corporate food chain from me, and also had several other really good meals, and heard interesting talks, and rode a bike across the campus of the mothership, and did lots of walking around san francisco, and got to be the competent one about sf public transit, and did not crash and burn while demoing our product, and all sorts of other good stuff. Whee!
