MicroStrategy World here I come....

OK,
There is this one opportunity to get away from work while still technically being at work. I am hardly intending to complain of course, but I am admittedly not much for being put in the same place as 5000+ other geeks who tend to brag about the networks they have put together, how well they can administrate, or what other "amazing" thing they have been able to do with this tool called 'MicroStrategy'. MicroStrategy is basically your standard tool for making data pretty though it does so in a very illogical way. I am not inclined to brag about how illogical I am or how well I work with illogical things or illogical people so... I go, I learn a new technique or two and talk to anyone willing to NOT, I repeat, NOT talk about MicroStrategy. It pays my bills, but that is about it. Last year, I spent some time over drinks talking to a gal from Northern California (worked for Bank of America) about growing up watching the thrills of minor league baseball. For those of you who have only seen a major league baseball game, find a small city on the map sometime, go there, and take in the experience of a minor league game sometime. They are better if you are a kid, but some of us do not have that option anymore. I, on the otherhand, subscribe to the 'Toys 'R Us' concept! I will describe the minor league experience to you all in detail sometime later. Anyhow, hopefully she will be around or there will be anyone else around of similar mentality. I do plan on meeting up with some people I cruised with a few weeks ago, but they work most of the time I am there it would seem anyhow.
