IBM and Dubuque one hell of a shock to me
Obviously working at any big company its impossible to know all the intentions of the overall business but normally at least you have some clue of whats doing to happen but in the case of IBM opening a 1,300 employee office in my old home town I was shocked. Of course my lovely sister in law Abby decided to call last night after I was sleeping to break the news for Lindsay and me and then this morning I got about four simultaneous emails with links to the thonline.com page showing it was indeed true. All I can say is absolutely awesome for my old home town and I really hope to see the city start to move into the 21st century by finally taking out the stop lights on 151 and more specifically Dodge street so people can actually get to the other end of the city in less time than it takes me to drive from Rochester to Minneapolis.
