Let the good times roll!

This week I am at a training in New Orleans for work. It's the first time in pretty much forever that Deloitte has put this kind of investment in their marketing organization and I will say that it feels good. The best part of course is meeting people face to face for the first time - many of these people I have only known by voice through many many phone conversations since we are from all over the US and India. There are about 110 of the 700 here.

Of course the whole time is not spent in session. Last night was a welcome reception and then a few of us from my old role went for drinks on Bourbon Street. This one guy Tom has been to New Orleans plenty (lives in Chicago now, but his wife is from here) so he was more or less our tour guide. Tonight we have a large group dinner and on our way there they have arranged for us to participate in a Second Line - a traditional brass band parade. Looking forward to seeing all my Deloitte colleagues dance!!
