I don't have work tomorrow because the weather folks are predicting an ice storm here. Austin is unprepared for such catastrophic weather conditions, so pretty much everything is shut down. Ah, winter.
Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to my trip to Puerto Rico. I will be going there for a long weekend in mid-February for a recruiting event sponsored by a consulting firm. I turned in an application and had an interview, and they let me know that I was invited on Friday. They will be covering all costs. =) Apparently, weather in the San Juan area in February ranges between lows around 70 and highs around 80 degrees. Ah, winter.

Deep in the Heart
Blogging today from Texas. I'm really enjoying my clinical experience here. Everyone is nice, the work is interesting, and the weather is fabulous.
Austin is an interesting city. Home to the University of Texas, Austin is filled with college students and is famous for its nightlife. It is also the capital of TX and known as a liberal haven in a conservative state. Supposedly, the city's unofficial motto is "Keep Austin Weird."
But what stands out to me is that Austin really reminds me of Sacramento. It's big and spread out. A big capitol building sits in the middle of downtown. It has a river that marks the beginning of the downtown region. And despite its motto, it seems no more "far out" than Sacramento.
I haven't remembered to grab my camera yet, but I'll try to post a few pics to capture my Texas odyssey in the next couple of weeks.
P.S. I've updated to the new version of Blogger. Let me know whether you like this new format. It looks different, but it also has new features.
