Dreams fulfilled

Shannon and I fulfilled an important dream this week when I started work on a contract for her boss, thereby giving us the opportunity to work together again. It’s been six years since Shannon and I met through our work and worked at the same company. Even then, we only had a very short while of being able to work together, hearing each other’s voice on group conference calls over the miles that separated San Francisco and Miami. Even the little bit we experienced was enough to know that we wanted a lot more.

I flew up to Atlanta Monday, arrived at her corporate offices there in the afternoon, and had the pleasure of meeting many people on her team. Today I enjoyed a good meeting with Shannon and her boss as we discussed the ins-and-outs of our project and I cruised around their offices taking in all the corporate sights and sounds that I’ve grown to actually miss. Well, not that much, but it was still good to be in a real board room again around smart people.
