<\/p>\nNot all of my work travel is about exciting cities, seeing movie stars, or working with companies that I can only refer to by the first letter of their name (e.g. The Big G).<\/p>\n
Sometimes I get sent to a tiny little place that is full of cookie-cutter houses, construction dirt, a strip mall with a box store or two, a few hotels, and tons of corporate American buildings full of cubicles and boardrooms… that strangely look like they come straight out of a Dilbert cartoon or the offices in the Matrix.<\/p>\n
Want to see a really great example? Check out this hallway that reminds me of the scene in The Matrix where the Keymaker leads Neo and Morpheus through a hallway filled with doors meant to provide “backdoor” access to other parts of the Matrix.<\/p>\n
I wonder if someone who works in this building secretly dreams of running down the hall as fast as possible while wearing a flowing medieval cape… like I do. Hell, I’d also settle for riding a unicycle or a Vespa from one end to the other.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Schaumburg is one of these tiny little places that I visit. It\u2019s a city in its own right but many still consider it a part of Chicago. Call it what you want, but it’s the second place I\u2019ve been to like this in less than a month.<\/p>\n
But, at least in Schaumburg spring has arrived… and there are lots of blossoms… and the air smells great.<\/p>\n
