It’s St. Patrick’s Day and I’m home with a cold. My first symptoms started during my business trip to Chicago area this week and graduated to a full blown cold yesterday. Ugh!
Highlights
Although it was cold during my travels, I enjoyed the work and company of one of my co-workers. We had a couple of good dinners (and one so-so at the airport).
That osso buco in the photo was soooo good. I could only eat about half after the delicious salad and maybe a slice or two of wonderful bread.
This week also marked the first days working from home until the new office building is ready.
Everything’s set up except for my VOIP phone which requires a hard wire. I have an extender coming from Amazon that should resolve that issue. I’m sure this experience of working from home will crop up in future blog posts.

Looking Ahead
Other than getting over this cold, there are no big plans this week. It will be my first full week in my home office and hopefully I’ll get my phone functioning. Do you have an exciting week coming up?
