I went to Chicago this week for HR training in preparation for my new project that starts this week. The instructor was great and she was kind enough to go over the Canadian functionality with me even though it was a US course. Monday and Tuesday night were spent working, and then Wednesday I got to go out with my friend Pat who I had not seen in 6 years! He's been in Chicago going to school and now works there. It was really great to catch up, and it always amazes me when I see friends that I haven't seen in a while how little has changed about who we are, despite all the time that has passed. Sadly I forgot my camera at home (I always forget to pack something!) so I didn't get to take any pictures of the city, or Air Force One when it landed at O'Hare.
