The Day
The day started out with a near over-sleep. Didn't have the alarm set but woke up in a "what time is it?" panic only to see that it was only a couple minutes after when the alarm would go off anyway.
The day continues with work as I prepare for a meeting that I will be having at midnight tonight and for my Vegas trip next week. A little confusion as we changed our scheduled trip from Vegas to Reno to an earlier time at someone's insistence that "we can't wait that long" only to find out almost right after getting the notice of the ticket purchases that they won't get there until later than our initial plan.
We could have achieved exactly what I was aiming for which is one full day on Monday of final prep, a meeting to review and then Tuesday to finalize any changes that came up on Monday. Instead the blowhard has to speak up and throw a wrench into a well laid plan.
Can't wait until I return from the trip though I am looking forward to Sunday. I made sure that I arrive early on Sunday so I can relax before having to go to the office on Monday, so it doesn't end up like my last trip to Vegas (flight left Philly at 6 AM EST, right from the airport to the office until going on 8 PM PST, then working in the business center of the hotel until 4 AM PST, before getting 2 hours of sleep and back to the office at 7).
If they would let me plan these things everyone would not only be more productive because they wouldn't be exhausted but we would have a well defined plan for what we want to accomplish with the clients.
The presentation next week will be a different one for me as it will be 95% pure demo so I won't be talking to points and features. Back when I was in school and hated talking in front of the class I never would have guessed that I would be doing presentations later in life and actually getting quite positive feedback about them. Who knew?
Also today was the day that Chris picked up the cases of girl scout cookies as Rachel will be selling them for the next month. So if anyone want any, leave a comment. :-)
After work was pretty much come home, eat and lay down. Was feeling a bit off with odd pains in my chest so I laid down for a bit. Still having some but not quite as bad as earlier. Since I have been to the hospital and ER for these kind of things before and every time ends up with the same result.... no result... I have decided that unless they seem REALLY bad I will try to ride them out. Granted that is opposite of what I have been told to do because of Marfan Syndrome but then again it seems that I have been having ghost pains that may be related to that so it becomes Russian Roulette at times.
Day 11 of no soda!!!
