Just got back from a week in Dallas and let me tell you, a foot of snow when you're unprepared for it sucks.

I get weird when I don't see the sun for 4 days let alone have to wake up to 26 degree weather. Good and productive week nonetheless and I gotter' done (hey when in Rome right?)

Back in the summer of 2008 I was on vacation in Colorado Springs visiting my natural mother. I received a call from my senior manager. He told me that I was needed in California for a meeting with our senior executives and about 5 senior vice presidents from Salesforce.com. This meeting was more of a dog and pony show.
