Where the rubber meets the road
Well, I'm 2 days into my gig and I already feel like I'm 2 months behind. I'll be going to Austin next week which will rock because they'll essentially be doing the same implementation I'll be doing later on at my property. These guys are under a time crunch though, so I doubt I'll have much time to goof around in Austin as well be burning the midnight oil putting the server room together. After that, I'm going to try and swing a trip to the New Orleans facility which will also be helpful as they're getting Wi-Fi going there which will likely be my next headache once (not if) I get our place operating. The only caveat is that they use a different network hardware manufacturer (but hopefully the differences are subtle). That and the sucky parts of being away from home (yes, I love and miss my growing family) and being in two party towns while being busy and broke as a $2 wristwatch. But don't get me wrong - I'm pumped to be a part of this place. I took a brief tour of the uncompleted facility and it's like the damn Death Star from Return of the Jedi. It's awesome to see and be a part of. I'm sure I'll be intimidated at times, but damn if I'm going in that way.
