Back from vacation…well, almost

Posted by on July 20th, 2008

Hey Everyone,


Just a quick post. I have been on vacation for the past 10 days in New York visiting family and relaxing with my wife and kids. I am getting ready to head to the airport to fly home and I just started digging out of email. Luckily for me I have a 6 hour flight back to Seattle. We are flying Jet Blue so hopefully my kids (ages 8, 6 and 3 (twins)) will enjoy the complementary TV and let me get some solid work done. It’s kind of weird travelling with kids. When I travel by myself, I am the guy that prays before I step foot on the flight that I am not sitting next to any younger kids or babies. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love kids, but I look forward to the distraction free time on a plane to get work done. My kids are used to flying so they are usually well behaved…Usually…anyone who has kids knows that at the drop of a hat, a three year old can turn from a sweet little thing to a demon. I know they have the term terrible twos, but my experience has been that three has always been the age to watch out for…Needless to say, I am keeping my fingers crossed.


Also everyone should have received my email blast last week from Microsoft Connect on the new Sprint 3 features coming. The text from that can be seen here. Those features are getting rolled out this upcoming Thursday and should be completed by Friday. Our super - duper - magnificent operations team has been phenomenal at these rollouts and although the product team works really hard to crank out these new features, it is the unsung operations heroes that deserve some serious kudos.


Hope everyone didn’t miss me too much :)


Dave
