Guidewire User Conference
Monday and Tuesday of this week I’ll be spending my work days at Connections, Guidewire’s annual user conference, at the Westin St. Francis at Union Square in San Francisco. I went last year and spent most of my time trying to stay away from customers, afraid they would ask me quesitons that I didn’t know the answer to. This year I’m seeking out customers, learning a lot, and helping them out too. A very different and enjoyable experience.
Suprise Party for Kathie
Kathie’s birthday was today (the 22nd), and we all gathered last Saturday afternoon for a surprise birthday party for her. She’d been moping around all week about nothing happening for her birthday, so it was really fun to surprise her.
Website Training
On Saturday and Sunday the 20th and 21st I conducted training sessions for teaching other PTA parents how to edit the new site that will go live soon. I’m trying to “teach them to fish” so everyone can help out with editing the site. Google sites isn’t particularly sophisticated and is a bit buggy, but it’s great that the editing is really pretty easy, and it’s free and easily shareable.
Car Repair
I got the damage repaired from my rear-ender accident. I really love AAA’s claims handling: all really hassle-free. Did you know they’re a Guidewire customer? 🙂
Gym Time
The Peninsula Jewish Community Center (PJCC), which is right near my work, was offering a special on memberships, and it’s subsidized by my company, so I joined. I’ve had 3 training sessions and some workouts and have really enjoyed it. It’s a challenge to work into the my weekly schedule, but I’m making it work. I love it!
More friends!
Jennifer and Selena came over for a visit on the 14th. We love our regular visits with them.
Synagogue and Friendship
On the 13th, while Katelyn was at her third Drivers Ed class, Haley, Val and I joined George and Linda for services at their synagogue. Then later on that day, Liza and Jody came over for dinner, games, and visiting. A pleasant day!
