I got on a Amtrak train at 11:43AM September 18th. I stepped out of the North Berkeley BART station at 11:43PM, same day. And what a day.
I went into work to go for a meeting with a database specialist who is implementing a CRM type thing for our org. Inspired! It is going well, we are on track, and it is going to change how we do almost everything. What I wasn’t counting on was speaking to the Board of Directors tonight. I was second to last on the agenda, so I got to hang out and hear all the nifty details. It wasn’t boring, per se. Just, a lot of info.
I make this commute with some frequency, about once a month. Basically anytime I have a meeting on the Peninsula. I like listening to music from Ghost in the Shell during this trip. Will folks in the future use multi-modal public transportation to travel hundreds of miles in their daily commutes? Or for leisure?
The Board seems excited for the work I am doing, and are seeing what I see in where we can go with it. This makes me excited, I have their support, and the opportunity to create something elegant and meaningful as an advocacy tool.
I am exhausted.
