Sorry couldn't leave the job site , was meeting with client for a walk thru.

 

Pfft.... don't you know that lunch with a bunch of dudes (and some ladies) is more important than client meetings?

 

Wow, great turnout - looks like you had a great time (I am envious I can't break away for stuff like that - I can't even get a coffee break). I hope to join you in the future - Friday's are good typically!

 

You're in luck then, Mark has said that he'd like the next meet to be on a Friday!

 

Hope to see you too Jason! May is an insane work month for me at work and I have travel, but I'll do my best to make it! I just don't have the flexibility like I did when I was with Sbux - more like a prison camp now (but they pay me well).

 

^^ It'll pay off for you, Greta. Being busy is good for job security

 

Yes, I am very thankful to have such a good job now in my line of work (I oversee new retail store growth, construction and design). In my sector of work, most are out of a job right now as retailers are closing stores, not growing. It's the only reason I left Sbux where I truly loved going to work every day.

 

Good times for sure! I'm glad I made the trip. It was well worth it. It had been a long while since I had eaten at Katie Downs. That said, what is up with those pictures of me? I'm either sleeping, or I have a contorted face like I'm having some sort of personal emergency.

Do I always look like that.

uhh...Actually, don't answer that.

It was great seeing you all. I hope I can make the next one too.

 

Its alright Trevor. I got caught in a few awkward pictures as well. One I'm freezing outside and the next I'm in the middle of a word. Jason has skills and impeccable timing with the trigger when taking pics

 

V don't you realize I can't write off my Cobb Salad today because you didn't show. Damn I was going out to eat with a client


Ok guys. Next event. We'll keep it posted up will be in Kirkland (So far location unknown) Jodie asks and we comply. She's the posting queen for the NW and we need to keep her in.

May 29th (As long as we confirm this isn't Memorial Day Weekend)
Figure same time around 11:45-2 ish whenever.

Hope as many as this time or more can make it. 15 on a School day was cool.

 

yeeahhhh! Thanks Mark! And Memorial Day falls on Monday, the 25th this year, so I think we're good. I always thought it fell on the 31st, but I guess not.

 

It was nice meeting many of you, I had to quickly bail just before everyone ordered lunch. I got a call that my brother crashed my delivery van .. that I just bought!!! So I had to split and deal with that mess. But it was very nice meeting many of you and I hope to get out more often

 

May 29th!!!! I can make that - will block it out on my calendar now!!! Looking forward to it. (Jody, isn't our photoshoot that Sunday too?)

 

That is the same weekend as the photoshoot!

I'll be there. I can't make many excuses when it's right where I work.

 

If I show up I'll be in disguise again.
