I decided to bike in. Despite the fact that it rained all the way in, riding felt so natural and good, and I wanted to keep going after the 20 miles.
They'd saved up plenty of work for me. I already knew that, since I was dealing with email during the trip, but it was still a surprise to tote up all stuff to be done. In my absence, IRI consolidated down to one building (having subleased the second building), renamed the main projects I was working on in a strange, counterintuitive manner, reorganized divisions again, and pissed away 30 years of marketplace recognition by telling employees to call the company SIG instead of IRI.
The joke is that SIG is GIS (Geographic Information System) spelled backwards, and so the name change would give the company direction, albeit not forward direction.
But that's not quite right. Apparently SIG is an acronym for "Systeme d'Information Geographique", which is French for GIS. So perhaps the name change will move us forward. Or maybe move us to France.
Acronym Finder has the following other abbreviations for SIG:
