I drove Greg to SeaTac Airport to his new job in Chicago this morning. In light traffic, it is only 15-20 minutes to
SeaTac from my apartment. He was hired
on Friday and starts work on Monday. The
amount of technology to make that happen is mind-boggling. He found the job on the web via a technical
recruiter due to his knowledge of AutoCad.
His hotel and plane ticket were paid for by real-time credit card
payments. He called me on his cell phone
while traveling west by commuter train (the El?
Googling reveals it is the Metra now).
I answered the call on one of five cordless handsets in my apartment
working off a single base unit.
I am grateful the miracles of modern technology that make the world a
smaller place to travel in distance, time and energy.
