Like many times before, on this last time out of the city I had fallen asleep in the tunnel.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The great blog secret has now come to end; my project in NYC that started in mid-May is now over. It made for a complicated 7+ months where I would usually leave home on a 6am bus early Monday and the get back on Friday evening. It included becoming an AirBNB power user &#8212; if only they had a loyalty program, or even gave a crap about their customers (probably more on them in a later post).<\/p>\n<p>Sometime next spring and summer and fall and Christmas, I&#8217;ll probably think back and wonder what I did last year, and it will hit me that I was somewhere else. The toughest stretch for us was back in June\/July when we left for a family trip to Maine on June 23. My next time home was for 2 days over the weekend of July 11, and then I left Monday July 14 to return back 3 weeks later on Aug 1. That&#8217;s 2 days home over 6 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>After leaving the family in Maine, where they stayed for a couple more weeks, we all met again at a friend&#8217;s in Connecticut on July 18. After a weekend there, we all drove into Brooklyn where I had rented an apartment for the week, again via AirBNB.<\/p>\n<p>What was I doing in NY? Building data platforms at a media buying agency. It was a great getting back to a agency environment where the clients had real budgets to spend; it was a big jump from the last local web agency I worked at where we held photo shoots in a storage container. Why in sexy storage containers? Because it was a storage container company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The great blog secret has now come to end; my project in NYC that started in mid-May is now over.
