I'm not complaining. And apparently it's not much sunnier back in Texas.

Good morning SF from my Holiday Inn room. No Coit Tower tours for me today.

I'm wrapping up my HR stuff at the 60 Francisco office before picking up my bags and heading to the studio for the rest of the day.

I have to say these WeissComm folks have some very nice digs uptown as well.

The entry area at 60 Francisco, San Francisco, one block from the wharf.

And an internal waiting area on the way to my temp office.

And my golly, I'm a door! Maybe a temporary door, but coming from Dell's cube-villa, I was just thrilled to have a place to have my iTunes playing.

I know I will be merely a laser printed piece of paper in the trashcan after I leave, but these folks did me righteous. How fun to have people say, "Hey let me walk you around and introduce you." That happened at both offices. I was almost embarrassed for taking up folks time. However, it was a fun formality, and as quickly as I was actually working with these people, it was nice to at least have said 'Hey.'

The cooperative spirit within the entire group and everyone I met here is infectious. I have missed the agency team mode. And this place is cookin with business and that makes for a happy busy agency, much more fun than a struggling downsizing agency.

So as I pack up my office and head to 660 York, my sincere thanks to Jim Weiss and crew for a fine, but chilly, week in SF. I hope more of my colleagues get to visit Austin in the coming months. I hear we are looking into some cool offices in downtown Austin.

Here's the scene this afternoon at the studio:

Folks are working hard.

A shout to my buddy Scott Shadiow who tipped me to the best Kobe burger in SF and a view that was too pretty to miss. Here's a view from my table at the Butterfly in San Francisco:

And many thanks to my HR buddy Linda Peterson who took care me from my first 10 minutes at 60 Francisco.

Studio 660 here I come! And then JetBlue back home to Texas this evening. I still need to get one trinket for my son. When I was asking him about something from San Francisco, he said, "Get me a trinket. I like trinkets."

"More than a shirt?" I asked, since I love shirts.

"Yea, guys aren't really into clothes all that much."

"That's true," I said. "I'll get you something else."

Update: I'm stuck in SFO now. The rain has caused plane delays. So far only 1.25 hrs. Wish me and JetBlue luck. And so I've taken a picture of my new 13" mbp atop my well-loved and well-worn 15" mbp. Ain't it cute. It is SO LIGHT I can tell I am going to be checking my bag all the time to make sure I have my computer.

Come on JetBlue.

It is happy Friday after all. And I have to say these noise cancelling headphones and iTunes radio make this delay fairly painless. I'll be home just before midnight, Texas time. If they only rented beds by the hour in these airports.
