The Stix

After a degree of diary co-ordination and planning, we manged to make it to our regular lunch spot again. Since we moved campuses as part of Sun's real estate consolidation, we haven't made it here much, but we managed it today and it was great to be back. There seems to be a lot of entries about food this week.

Spent the afternoon at the Sun Santa Clara campus where I worked from May 2005 to November 2006. It is a really beautiful campus, it was built in the grounds of a former mental hospital and some of the original buildings are still there, including the clock tower in the picture. It was hell for a while to try to get hold of a flexible office, but things seem to have settled down now, which is nice to know as I only live 10-15 minutes drive from here.

Made it to the really nice Santa Clara gym today, but I am really sore after overdoing it at the stability ball exercise class at Sun Menlo Park yesterday. The gym is part of the restaurant complex above, it is big and free for all employees, but the washing machine is knackered so there were no towels for showering, yuk. Good thing I live near here.

The temperature is rising. I was trying to just open the windows and avoid trying to use the aircon, but you know when you need to use the aircon when you open the windows and it gets hotter inside and you open the fridge door and want to climb in.

With great difficulty. I keep falling off.

You're definitely in the wrong country! We're having storms, freezing cold and pissing rain here. And major floods in the English Midlands are dominating the TV news.

Tom's blog about life in America as a Scottish person, appreciating and making music, politics, travel, my own philosophy and other stuff not easy to categorise.
