China!

Today was our holiday retreat at work. We worked on sharing ideas for our marketing strategy and customer support. Really fun stuff!

I also talked to my bosses about two possible trips that I could be involved in.

China:
Our University is working with the state and starting to create partnerships with China and I talked with my boss about possibly being involved with the delegations or even if we trade faculty and staff going over there and representing our University. I will be so excited if this works out. Of course it is far more likely that faculty will get to go so I am not getting my hopes up, but my fingers are crossed.

New Orleans:
I guess I am not that sure about the next trip or even exactly what is going on with it but my new boss who is on sabbatical until the summer is working on bringing equipment, computers and the like down to New Orleans as one of his projects. Once down there he is going to set it up labs for a University that was flooded and lost all of their equipment. I am not sure if he is bringing anyone else or if it is a personal one trip, but I hope to be able to help him out. It would be really fulfilling to be able to do something for the victims of the hurricane.

Neither of these may happen but it makes me happy that the possibilities to do something special or different are there and I hope that I can take advantage of them.

I really, really, really hope I can be involved in the China one, I am so excited that my boss seemed positive about it. Although the wife isn't jumping for joy if I have to be gone for long periods of time.
