Day 17: Voting Day, Voting Day!

Music to Train by: The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

Voting day is upon us. While most of America sleeps, the TV just inside the entrance to the office is tuned to CNN, but of course no election coverage has started yet. The general consensus in Britain is, as I mentioned in an earlier post, that Obama has it won. But I have to say that nothing would shock me after 2000 and 2004.

Luckily, there's a bowling alley one block from the hotel that is staying open late to watch the US election. Yeah, I know, it's a bowling alley fer chrissakes, but it's an upscale bowling alley that usually charges a cover to get in. Tonight it's free though, so I'm hoping I'll find a bunch of Americans watching TV and bowling for free.

Meanwhile, work goes on, and I gave a two hour presentation on Concur Invoice and Concur Intelligence to the MDR team located in the UK and Prague. It's much harder giving a demo to an MDR than it is to an SC, because they don't care as much about buttons, they care about value prop. I will say, however, that Sandler has been a HUGE help. Simply reinforcing that you have to be more sick than the client seems to have hit home in a big way. Fun stuff!

No pics today, just waiting to finish up some meetings with the States and then it's off to watch the election. Hope you all voted!
