Sun Bear in the Billionaire's Board Room

Why have I just posted an I.D. badge from a certain cable network? Well, let it suffice to say that although I can’t give away too many details, hush-hush, I was doing sound level testing and got to sit in a certain CEO’s office, the office of the first black billionaire in the United States. He has a pretty sweet office set up. Unfortunately I didn’t get to meet him, but the pictures of people he has met that he had hanging up were quite impressive and included such people as Nelson Mandela and Hillary Clinton, among others.

I don’t think that if I was working in KC I would be working on jobs of this caliber. It is certainly a trade off. By being out in DC I have had to move away from much that I am familiar with and many friends that I truly cannot say too many good things about. However there is no doubt that as far as pursuing my career goals go this was the best thing I could have done. If at some time in the future I chose to pursue some other career path I will know that I have given this as much of a chance as is possible; no doubt will exist as to what potential I could have had on that path. That is something that I couldn’t have really said if I had stayed in KC. I would have spent probably the first 3 years doing very basic calculations and simple reports about office spaces that had air conditioners outside their windows.
