Lou Rosenfeld is in town with Steve Krug for their Enterprise IA and Usability workshops. Last night they had a cocktail hour followed by dinner after Lou's workshop. I fought the traffic on 680 and joined them.
I love going to these things. It was so good to see Lou. I worked at Argus only 10 months. I've now been at PeopleSoft 3.5 years. I can't believe that I've been away from there for so long. It seems like just yesterday. It was such a short time, yet it had such a profound influence upon me.
I had lots of fun talking with Erin and Sarah. Javier is also in town, and he joined us for dinner. He's such a sweet man. I hope I can get to know him better. He sat at the far end of the table from where I was, so I didn't get a chance to talk with him that much.
I also met some neat folks from the workshop, including a woman who used to be the intranet manager for JD Edwards! We had quite a good time talking about PeopleSoft and JDE and what happened. I told her how sorry I was for the way PS treated all of them (she was in the first round of JDE layoffs) and how terrible I thought it was. Luckily it sounds like she has landed on her feet. It really is such a small world.
