A while ago I said I would try to keep this blog fairly technical, but sometimes you have to let loose and relax. I just got back from a long weekend in Boston and figured I would write a little about it.
Boston seems like a great city to live and to visit. Surprisingly, it was very similar to what I thought it would be. It’s a city that has a very homey feel and because of all the colleges, a great crowd. While the public transportation system isn’t the greatest, it’s still very easy to get around and see the city. I was able to see Soutie, Thaniel Hall, and Brookeline, which all seemed to be great parts of the city.
Since I was there for St. Patrick’s Day, it was very crowded and expensive. Nevertheless, I was there with some great friends, and made some other ones while I was there. It was a crazy fun time, so much so that I slept through the parade on Sunday. I definitely want to go back on a normal weekend to see more of the city, and what the night life is really like.
Possibly the greatest thing about the trip was the break from work. Not to say I don’t enjoy my job, but after a very long 2 weeks preparing for Webmail’s 6.3 release, a break was needed. I was able to walk into work today and focus, even though I had very little sleep all weekend. So for all you workaholics, take a break, it definitely helped me to be a better worker.
