Chris was able to travel over the past two weeks to Austin. The first time to meet with the team he manages at the beginning of a new quarter and during the second week with more of the sales teams.
During the second week, coworkers surprised him with a birthday celebration (for four others who had birthdays in October as well, thus the five cakes). Chris was impressed that they would remember and celebrate him.
One night during the week, the work group went to a concert called Spazmatics. They have a nerdy image (on purpose) and play songs from the 80s.
