Made it

So here is my one post, that I made it and I am safe.  We started off on a bad note … 1st delay due to fog.  Then we get ready to leave and snap, another delay to fog.  I am sitting next to a COS (Customer Of Size) which is a polite way for saying fat person.  He took up part of my seat plus all of his.  I was asked if I wanted to move, but declined because I just got comfy  I wish I would have moved because I got uncomfortable really quick.  Oh, I also checked my bag and was told it would arrive at my destination.  I was really nervous about this!

Had McDonald’s @ the airport, horrible it was dry.  No refills on soda, what's up with that?  Then made it to my next gate, by now I am sweating to death.  I feel horrible because I am so HOT.

Got on the 2nd plane, sat by myself in a window seat.  It was a good flight overall.  Best tip ever don’t sit near the back of the plane because you can smell the restroom.

Landed, I could have picked up my car but was more interested in my bag.  So I waited anxiously at baggage claim and presto it showed up.  Then I got in a long line for my rental car.  Picked it up after about 45 minutes in line.  Got a Chevy Malibu, which is really nice.  Too bad I didn’t notice the huge crack in the bottom of the windshield until the sun was on it and I was miles away from the airport.  I called to let them know about it, hopefully it won’t b counted against me.  I almost got side swiped a lady appeared in an intersection and I never saw her, she came within 3 inches of my passenger door.  Scary!

Made it to the hotel, checked in.  A little disappointed in the room.  The vent in the bathroom hasn’t been dusted in about 5 years.  The sink isn’t bolted down, so when you turn on the water the whole fixture shakes.  The towel rack is located inside the shower.  Seriously who thought of that?  They weren’t too bright.  Overall, the room is very comfortable. 

Got to the facility and discovered that I need more POE switches, called my vendor and will have them tomorrow morning.  That is spending an extra $800 – not sure the boss will like it but I know he has deep pockets, so I figured why not.  I mean I need it to complete the job and if I have spares, I will return them for credit.  Today was a travel day, meaning that no work really got done.  We are starting at 8 am tomorrow morning.

Had supper at Outback Steakhouse and dropped $34 on just me with food only, no drinks.  Yeah buddy, I am going to eat good this trip!

My foot is killing me, one of the kids stepped on it the other day and she bruised a toe, plus my golf ball like feeling is back again.  Only because I walked so much today.  My ear hurts too, so I am headed to the shower to wash away the troubles from the day and hopefully have a nice relaxing evening.  I hope this whole project goes well and there are no issues.  I want to leave knowing that my job is done and everything is working like it should.

That’s it.  I will talk with you peeps later.

I hope your foot is feeling better by now, it sucks to have to hobble around.

I didn't think your cats were heavy enough to do foot damage, LOL!

Hey Jeremy...glad you made it safely to your destination and hopefully tomorrow will go well for you too. It's no fun having a bad experience on a plane...if given a choice I'd much rather drive anywhere than fly but I know sometimes you just can't do that like you want to do. Hope you get some good rest tonight and have a great and successful day tomorrow. Rest is always important...even more so when you travel...Have a great week ahead!!
