Travel Log - Star date 20080412

Plane, train or automobile: None, actually.

Mission: Was supposed to be management training workshop. Workshop cancelled by higher ups. I spent some time in the office for once! We have been really busy lately - we have a new CEO and Executive Team, so there is no such thing as business as usual right now. I really like our new CEO - he spent some time with the son of our founder to learn about our core values and he is driving change back to those values. Our new CFO, Mike Norona (not to be confused with the song "My Sharona" by the Knack) is not your typical numbers guy. If you listen to him for 15 minutes, you want to rush home and balance your check book! He is that entertaining and funny.

Number of human interactions: 12

State(s) visited: Nada, zip, zero.

City visited: Salem, VA and Roanoke, VA

Interesting fact about this city:
Salem was founded in 8000 BC, making it way cooler than Jamestown, VA (1607) or St. Augustine, FL (1529).

Halpert says: I was looking forward to visiting West Virginia again. Oh, well.
