I got to use my umbrella today since the weather turned out to be squally showers with sunny intervals. My working day started with a welcome breakfast meeting, a great opportunity to start meeting the people I'll be working closely with. Remembering names is a challenge; I don't know how schoolteachers manage. I was also invited to two different project team meetings. It felt good to be able to contribute to the discussion. I also watched a recent video with CEO Sue Desmond-Hellman explaining the strategy and three year business plan that provided helpful context at a high level.
After work I hopped on the monorail, the quickest way to get downtown, as I had to pick up my Zipcar card that will enable me to borrow a car when I need one from the lot across the street Iconic Pike Place Market is just a short walk from the monorail stop and I also found the downtown Target store, handy for grocery shopping, right opposite the Seattle Symphony The cherry blossoms were a little overblown and bedraggled in the rain as were the homeless people huddling together under tarpaulins to stay dry.
