A Working Vacation in Columbus
I’ve finally got outside of my hotel room in Columbus after a nasty bout of the stomach flu, or was it something I ate? Anyways, it was time to enjoy the city and I had a few highlights during my weeks stay.
Tuesday, I headed to check out Columbus’s main library, yes, even on a working vacation, I love to be inside a library. Columbus’s library was pretty cool. It’s a working library, which means it meets the needs of the people who use it and not to be like a show piece or a museum like some libraries have a tendency to be. It was full of people and well laid out; I’m thinking maybe the cold weather also had something to do with why the library was full of people, but for me, as long as people are reading, then the world’s a better place for it.
Around the block from the library is the ‘Old Deaf School Park’ along with the ‘Old Deaf School’. The park had a topiary garden that was modeled after ‘Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte’ painted by George Seurat. It was an amazing place, it was so peaceful and it was right in the middle of downtown Columbus! There were people about, even though it was cold out, and I don’t blame them, the park is too inviting.
Wednesday, I met up with some interns at the Buffalo Wild Wings, which wasn’t far from where they work. I got to meet with some interns who started a few weeks ago and got to see how they were fairing with the stresses. It seemed that every one was having a good experience so far. That will be good to report when I get back.
I ended the work week with putting to use, the new laptop and scanner I’ve received from work, I haven’t gotten all the logistics of it yet, but I really do appreciate having the convince of filing my reports via the Internet, so much easier than waiting till I get back to work in Dayton.
