Sentiments

Work: Well today was our last day at our Redwood Shores office. While many of us (myself included) have been greatly looking forward to this day, since our move down to headquarters will cut my commute by more than half, huge emotions were felt. My co-worker and I popped into the cafe across the street to check out their daily soups, and when we saw they had their Lobster and Crab bisque, we both got a small cup of it for old time's sake despite the fact that work was going to be feeding us in 45 minutes! Many pictures were taken along with multiple glances outside to our gorgeous and soon-to-be missed view. Box labels were double checked and triple checked before the movers came to haul them away. It was a strange feeling, as if we were all leaving the company and moving back east or something, when in fact we would all see each other Monday, just 20 miles south. There were a mix of feelings, both happy and sad, but really it feels like a chance for new beginnings and continuing on this journey called work.

Dancing: I must say I wasn't that impressed with Verdi club. The music was amazing, but the quality of dancers I don't think was great. Not to say it was bad. I had several good tandas, but nothing to write home about. About 1 1/2 hours into the Milonga Martin showed up and we danced exclusively until the end of the night, 1230am. That was the highlight of my night :)

Tarragon has suddenly been canceled as of last night, so I've decided to take class from my teachers, Marcelo and Romina in LaFayette tonight and stay for the milonga afterwards. I've been there once before; it's a pretty far drive, but since Martin has a class in that area tonight, he can pop by afterwards for the milonga.
