Working and USA

Now that I'm finally working full time again, things are getting a little more interesting again. Polycom has certainly been proactive with training - I've been training basically full time for the entire 7 weeks I've been there! The finale for one section was a trip to the US for a week long intensive session ending with a presentation to the CEO of Polycom... we were second in our group, so we were quite happy with that.

Here are a few piccies of interesting stuff:

This is one of the ridiculously huge 'cars' we had while over there. It had a huge V8, but didn't have much get-up-and-go off the line - probably because it weighed about 15 tons...









Some of the lights of the San Francisco skyline














This was a little xmas market we happened across in San Jose - they stole this ride from never-never land!




















I didn't have enough time to get up to much else, hence only 3 pictures. However (always a name dropper) I had a quick chat with Helen Clark in the LA airport lounge on the way home - always interesting when you see someone you recognise!

We are looking forward to 2010 - things are getting back to normal now, and we have started making a few plans to keep ourselves entertained over the next few months - you'll just have to keep an eye on the blog to see what they are ;-)
