Utah Symphony @ Deer Valley Resort

Our employee party for the summer was at a Utah Symphony concert up at the Deer Valley Resort in Park City. Now, I have to admit, Park City is probably my favorite place in the whole state. Yes, Utah has some amazing natural beauty in its national parks, but nothing quite compares to the serene, wooded landscapes of Park City and the amazingly fresh mountain air.

The guest artist of the evening was some crazy carnie with an electric harp. I won’t go into details because a) I don’t want to relive that experience again and b) I don’t want to spread the tortute via my blog. Needless to say, everything leading up to the final performance was a disgrace to the institute of music. The finale was sans harp, thank goodness. To end the evening, the Utah Symphone performed Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture with real antique cannons. I think more songs should be performed with artillery — it definitely adds to the ambiance.

I’m trying to flush out a backlog of drafts, so some of this is old news — I apologize for the staleness of my blog as of late. Once finals are over, things should get back to normal.

After over six months of underemployment (that’s what I get for taking an internship in the banking industry), I’ve taken a full-time position with Unicity International, where I’ll be helping with the international inventory forecasts. It will represent a significant shift in my job responsibilities, so I’ll have to try and keep my coding skills honed some other way, but I’m looking forward to the opportunity to get more involved in the operations side of business rather than staying deep in product development.
