Critter chats with A.Toosure about here bday card.

The critter sometimes freaks me out with how old she acts at 5yrs old. I shouldn't be surprised since at that age I was going to the bus stop and spending most the day in school. If fact when we were about 7ish Lonnie and I would ride our bikes all over Spokane....crazy. Now I think about my kid doing some of the same stuff we did as kids I know why we were always getting in trouble.
This video I included is of the critter chatting with A.Toosure about a bday card she got (and it had a $1 bill..she was so freaking blown away!)
Anyways enjoy.

Hiedy Ho!!!

Ok...so its been even longer. Things have started to wind down now that training at work is over. We are very busy here...but now more time in front of our systems. So, I hope that means more frequent updates. Anyway, what I have to add to today was a request by DFV regarding a picture...well this is from http://maps'live.com/ (similiar to maps.google.com).

Notice every location marked in blue is a Microsoft building. They have more..these are just the ones that fit in the screenshot I took. I currently work in the group at the top of the map.

I prefer livemaps for 3D images cause you dont have to install software (like google earth) but maps.live.com doesnt have a 'street view'. maps.live.com doesnt work very well overseas. I typed uncle Pauls address in and maps.live.com was confused...although I could find it..but I had to actually peruse the map for street names like in the old fashioned days. In maps.google.com I was taken right to it. (this was not the case 2-3yrs ago though).

Well...back to the grind.

Update...finally

Well been at Microsoft for almost a month now. Crazy how people can get anything done. The place is HUGE..its a city of its own. If I need to go to other buildings I can take a shuttle (the run most the day) There is several cafeteria's that are subsidized by Microsoft, free soda, juice, coffe and filtered water.

It has been a crash course of training so my brain power is usually on low by the time I get home. Once I have been doing my job for a couple of months I will probably be more used to it. But for now....this is all you'll get..an update on occasion.
