Someone once asked me what's the most interesting thing I love about working in Redmond and I have to say that its really the opportunity to work with, mingle and socialize with a gathering of the most interesting and bright people on earth (yeah that sounds downright arrogant but I really dont know how else to put it). Its been 11 years in MS and Ive fed off the energy and enthusiasm of people here and never regretted a single moment. Its a diverse community of people from all over the world living in what used to be and still is a small town. I recently stumbled on Ariels blog "Microspotting" and was once again reminded of why I've enjoyed every moment and still do: its all about the world of amazing and interesting people around me.
