A Meeting Like No Other
Microsoft definitely knows how to have a meeting, that much is definitely clear after today. My team was sitting on the floor level at Safeco Field in between home plate and the pitching mound with a gigantic constructed stage on the other side of the mound and gigantic video screen on either side. Needless to say, we were definitely able to see all of the action that was going on. You could argue that it was almost more of a production than just a meeting since there was a host (Seth Meyers from SNL, so I had no idea who he was), videos, product demos, blimps, and paper airplanes. The last two were related because the goal of the paper airplanes was to get them in the nets the blimps were carrying around.
Compared to today, tomorrow (and probably the next week) is going to seem really, really boring. I’m not doing anything for Day of Caring tomorrow, so I’ll just be going into work for a little while to do what I do best and read emails all day long. Reading emails might not be the most fun thing to do in the world, but I should probably save anything that might be remotely entertaining for later when it won’t have to live in the shadow of today.
