Microsoft Funnies!




As gruiling as the hours at Microsoft are, there are always those moments that make the day worth it. We've had the opportunity to run around in Microsoft superhero costumes. (Not Jeff or I, but the MC's) They were pretty hilarious walking around in the costumes and of course the attendees loved them. On many occasions I had the urge to trip them and watch them struggle to get up. :) Evil I know!

Another funny story, at the show this year they passed out water bottles to the attendees and had packages of soap available for the use of washing them. Multiple attendees ripped open the soap packages and before any of us could stop them, began to eat the soap, thinking it was an energy drink! One gentleman spent several minutes at the drinking fountain trying to remove the soap from his mouth...quite funny. The funniest part was that multiple people did it, not so smart, huh?!

TechED - Orlando

Okay, so it was so much better to be doing a show with Jeff. I missed him so much in Chicago! You can tell my blogging went down after being with Jeff...I can't ignore that he is a lot more interesting than blogging. But I promised to keep you all up to date, so TechED has been very good, long, but good. Jeff did his biggest and most complex bag build ever. They had 50 items going into 8,500 bags. We had 165 people working on the bag build and we got it all done in less than 8 hours! Jeff was very proud of the team and if you know him well he was eating up all the stats. Get this, they averaged 65 bags a minute! WOW! I joined in for some of it...I love running the line! This picture doesn't do it justice but you can kinda' get the idea.
