My work team has been so busy we have not done a nice offsite since August 2005 when we went overnight to the Sonoma Mission Inn, which was very nice & very fun. I saw a Rachel Ray Tasty Travels recently that highlighted the two Sonoma restaurants where we ate! After rescheduling many times since March, they finally could get our now almost 20 strong entire group to come out from Wednesday through Friday last week with only one person in Colorado unable to join us. Many came from the East Coast, one from London & one from Hong Kong, so for everyone to be there was quite a feat. Thursday was all day presentations, mostly very interesting since we had guest speakers instead of just ourselves, but the rest was good food, good wine, and good times. I did come back with 4 bottles of wine and promptly refrigerated them since my house was 94F INSIDE on Friday evening…ugh!

Wednesday lunch at Bistro Don Giovanni and wine tasting at Miner, Peju & Alpha Omega

I’m off for my work team offsite in Napa until Friday with only my Treo, no computer…until then!

Today officially marks 8 years of working for the same company, which I never thought would happen. In the Silicon Valley tech industry better-known for the high turnover rate, we have a lot of employees who have been here this long, especially on my team. I am thankful I have a good-paying job that allows me to do other fun things in my life.
