Hmm, so that was a quick detour. I'm back at Microsoft, as a Sr. Program Manager in the Server and Tools Division, and hope to continue blogging here. I just started this week, though, so I haven't really discussed it with my new manager yet. But I just

I'm leaving Microsoft to work for a startup, after nearly 5 years here. I'll be a Technical Project Manager at Mercent , starting in mid-July. Next week is my last week here. Microsoft has been a great place for me to build my career - I spent more time

For a day off, today was pretty productive in terms of my career. Or at least for my career planning anyway. One of the things I've been meaning to do for a while is get my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification. I've been doing various forms

Marshall , who I met through the Speech Server TAP program, has bugged me about my dormant blog a few times now, so here I am with a new post for you. It's embarassing how long it's been since I last posted. Especially since I include a link to this blog

Our Thanksgiving trip to Tucson was very nice. My husband and I drove back to Seattle, which I had anticipated to be a nice leisurely drive, but turned into a "let's just get home", boring freeway, 12-15 hours a day sort of road trip. On the bright side,

I am just getting ready to leave the office to take care of some last minute items before leaving for Tucson early tomorrow. I thought I'd write a quick blog post since it's been a few weeks since the last one. I'm slowing ramping up on SMS 2003, and

Well, I'm at the end of my last day of work for the week. So far, this part time thing is working out great :) So what did I accomplish this week? Met a bunch of people on the team (super-important for a PM), got through a few modules of an online training

I guess it's pretty clear that I'm just getting settled into my new job, since I've actually had time to post to my blog two days in a row! Late yesterday, my stuff got moved over from Bldg 17, so my office-mate/job-share partner and I tried to figure

I woke up this morning at 6:15 without an alarm and actually got out of bed and was ready for work by 7:15. What's going on here? It's my first day of work at the new job! Now that I'm in Building 44, my commute to work has almost doubled. It might actually

I guess I'm on the "every other month" posting schedule here. Maybe that's just the natural rhythm of things and I shouldn't feel bad about it. Then again, just this week, two of my TAP partners asked me if I was planning to blog more often. And the answer

Yikes. Yet again, I've waited too long to post to my blog. I can't believe it's been 2 months!! I actually have a real speech-related topic this time, though. Last week, I went to the 5-day course called " Speech Applications: Planning, Voice User Interface

I've got a bad 80s heavy metal song in my head, and I can't even find out what it is either via MSN Search or Google. Oh well, I suppose I have more important things to do. Well, it's review time again here at Microsoft. As you'll see on many other MS

Woo hoo! The TAP Beta training started today and we have about 60 customers and partners in town for this event, most of whom are in our TAP or ISV programs. I think they are interested in the presentations, judging by the number of questions our presenters

No one likes a stale blog, so I'm sitting in my kitchen at 8pm with a glass of wine trying to find inspiration. Fortunately, this time it's not too difficult. On Monday we issued a Press Release announcing the availability of our Beta . It reveals some
