It's the people, stupid...
I've been in San Francisco since Tuesday night. We have an office here, but I've never had reason to come down before - and my reason this time isn't so positive.
Tonight was the farewell dinner - Matt and his wife Katie, Julia and I had reservations at Absinth. After two straight days in a meeting room, trying to absorb as much as Matt could spew a pre-dinner cocktail was definitely in order, so Julia and I caught a cab to the restaurant while Matt went home to pick up his other half.
I'd never met Katie before tonight, and I'm very glad I had the opportunity. The pleasure was all mine. Dinner, conversation and company were excellent - and I'm trying hard to dwell on the positive.
It's only sorta working.
I can't even think of anything pithy to say, other than that I've been privileged to have had the chance to meet and work with such a passionate, dedicated, and skillful individual - and I would jump, without reservation, at the chance to do so again.
I hope our professional paths cross in the future, and in the interim, I sincerely hope our developing friendship outlives our working relationship.
