Been a blessed couple months for my DD.

Being sent first by her University to to attend a convention held at Disney and then scholarship’d to attend a Disney sponsored conference for data analytics. She is in Grad school for computer science engineering and her Heart` is on the analytics side. 2/3 of the conference was Disney employees from around the country. Guest speakers were famous people in related fields and works. Excellent keynote speakers.

Upon her return to work at the University yesterday her presence was requested about an hour away today to attend a special data meeting. The invite came to her directly by email and her boss knew nothing of it. Upon arrival she recognized a few of the 11 people, important University people. *thinking to herself why am I here* She then hears a familiar voice. Her former bosses boss and that lady liked her from the day she started in 2015. Apparently the woman heard through the grapevine that my DD was in a Masters program at a different University than where they work. The training session today was Google employees training the upper tier on data mining and analytics. The woman wanted my DD there to listen to what Google had to say. My DD has been promoted twice since hired and really within that department there is no where but her bosses job to advance to. She got the feeling today she is likely to get plucked to move up into the more elite end of the Univerity staff.

It’s been an awesome few weeks for her. I’m. Going to try and pull some of the conference photos. It was held in the Main Convention Center at the Contemporary and I’ll post a few in my trip report. After day one that evening they sent the attendees on a special adventure.

Right now all of our highway messages say-

“Camp in Ohio State Parks, Not the Left Lane”

Ha Ha! Love that!!! I cannot stand people who will just stay in the left lane while piles of cars are behind them, and then they refuse to move over. It is rough in PA and parts of 95 where there are only 2 lanes per side.

Last summer when we had the tornado blow through here they sent trucks from surrounding states. As we would see them arrive it gave everyone warm fuzzies. Everyone we passed we thanked for traveling to help

In WDW for Hurricane Irma days before she blew in trucks from states far away were staged in anticipation of Irma. They were housed and fed at Disney resorts. Thankfully for guests and CMs there were very few power issues on Disney Property and the trucks were dispatched throughout Florida that lost power. But it was a sight to see a sea of power trucks at Epcot. And a comfort to guests like...we gotchua ❤️

Wait, do people actually take supermarket rotisserie chicken out of the package and put it on a plate before eating it?

Do you all just love doing dishes? 🤣

Depends, most stores here give you a cheap plastic container that breaks easily. Other rotisseries that are not supermarket.. they just give you a thermal bag for the chicken, then all the extras like tortillas, salsas, etc.. and thats all!

So yeah, chicken goes to a proper plate FOR separation and serving :P
