Mentoring in Europe

I am now working from Sun in Hamburg, Germany. I am learning to use a
German-style keyboard with a Z where I expect a Y to be. I have a big
window looking out over train tracks where a red train zips by from time
to time. My husband the Railfan (a.k.a. “train nut”) will be jealous.
The SunRay hotdesking worked perfectly: I pulled out my badge in Prague
last night and popped it in at my new desk in Hamburg this morning and
my session was right where I left it. So very cool!

We have had 18 SEED applications for this first European SEED term so far:

  • Czech Republic: 6 [ 33% ]
  • France: 4 [ 22% ]
  • Germany: 1 [ 6% ]
  • Ireland: 7 [ 39% ]

Most applications are looking good. Two so far with all “Superb” performance ratings
during the last 3 years. There are a few new hires with no annual
ratings. Two applications are complete.

I give both the all-managers and all-Engineering presentations today and mz
schedule is filling up with individual meetings. I am in Hamburg through Friday.

SEED applications are due Monday, 14 November. All other materials (resume,
letters of recommendation) are due 18 November.
