I'm Back!

Oh well, didn't post anything about my trip. I'll get to that eventually.

So, today was my first day back, and to start it off my professor, Dr. Brandle came to visit.

After my meeting with my GTS people, I met Dr. Brandle at 10:00 AM

After Dr. Brandle was acquainted with Mark, my boss, we had a little meeting in a small conference room to overview what Doubleclick really does so Dr. Brandle could understand what the company did from an up/down view.

After that, I gave Dr. Brandle a quick whirl of what I did, the tasks I do, and etc. I showed him the scripts I wrote, the stuff I did, the famed database chart, etc.

After that, it was time for lunch. We went to a great little place called Sidebar. I had the safe “grilled chicken sandwich,” but they put a great spin on it, with a lot of melted provolone cheese and a good honey mustard sauce on it, a consistency I hadn't had before. The fries were good, and they were seasoned. They were seasoned so much that I had seasoning spices all over my fingers when I ate them. They were still good, and didn't taste like the cookie-cutter seasoned fries you usually get.

The conversation flowed well, topics ranging from computer science degree trends to everyone's college background. So, it was a good conversational atmosphere.

After we got back from lunch, Dr. Brandle and I talked a little bit about my Yahoo Stores backend website engine. Then, after that discussion, Dr. Brandle left.

It was a good visit. The rest of the day I played catch up from being gone a while.

And...I FOUND THE AWESOME SUN TIMES GUY! Yes, I'm excited.
