Honeymoon Period in a City of Culture

Honeymoon Period? So before I know it, week 3 is over in approximately 0.5 hours (just finished some work for the week, I'm not slacking I promise!). And the so-called 'honeymoon' period that I'm sure many Scholars have experienced by now, still seems to be going on for me... but I am...

From Caledonia to California

Nine weeks ago I departed from rainy Edinburgh and landed more than half a day later in sunny San Jose. Now, I would like to reflect on this time and my experience. The weather here has been just amazing and it often took me by surprise, when I walked out of Building G of the National Campus where I...

Seeing things from the other side

It’s not often that I get a chance to see things from a different perspective. It’s a funny thing to consider, but I got confronted by this on our trip to the US Air Force museum. That in itself is an amazing place, and in my about the visit I guess you can see my excitement and enthusiasm...

Dayton Days

The business end of a big old jet. Dayton, Ohio, is merely 40 miles up the road (as we say in Scotland), and it is the place credited with the development of the first practical aircraft. That's a bit of a mouthful. Suffice to say, the Wright brothers Wilbur and Orville lived there and used their...

The Kindness of Strangers and Taking a Leap of Faith

"So, let me get this straight. You're going to Detroit, which is 6 hours away, by car, with people you've never met before?" "Yes, Mother..." "And you're planning on spending the weekend with them, these people who you've never met?" "Yes, Mother..."...

"Get ready for the photo shoot"

Today's working day started off with a photo shoot in the morning in front of the National sign at Building C. Everybody working in Finance came together to have a photo taken in front of the sign that maybe soon will bear a different company's name on it after the deal with TI is closed. It...

Dinner in the Desert lit by Giraffes on Fire.

Hello y'allll, and thanks for reading my blog! I'm just beginning my 5th week here in Florida, working for Jabil Circuit, and as you might have guessed by my rather cringe-worthy greeting I'm really feeling integrated and at home here now! It's a feeling I really had after leaving some...

Some like it HOT!!!

This week was my fourth and final week within the Corporate Communications department and it was sad to see it come to an end as I have met so many lovely people during my time within the Opus Building. The week consisted of wrapping up the Bingo event by sending out Thank You letters for all the donations...

What’s not to like?

I would like to start off this week's blog with a conversation I had with my manager Mark recently who is from Scotland. I told him that after our hike last week, we had lunch at the golf course and that I was talking to another Scottish guy, Cameron, who has also been living in California working...

The Land of Plenty

I’m not much of a photographer, y’know? I like taking pictures, but I’ve never been consistently good at it. I’m drawn to take pictures of things that I find interesting, amusing and attractive, but they’re rarely techically good photos. I only know the basics, rule of thirds...

Silicon Valley... where IT all began

On the plane to Dallas, I sat next to a Texan from Fort Worth who had just visited Scotland and who was an enthusiastic golfer. It was the first time he had visited Scotland and he had been to St Andrews to play golf at the Old Course. I was telling him that I would have to change at Dallas to go to...

Leaps and Bounds

It is amazing to think that a little over eight weeks ago I was fretting about what to wear to work (as I am sure most of us; even the boys were doing,) running round the house packing my suitcase and reviewing all the documentation I needed to enter the US and then checking it all over again for good...
