Cleveland Take 2
I just got back from another week of business travel. Cleveland again, and I still didn't get a chance to see the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame or anything other than the inside of two airports, one rental car, two hotels, one restaurant, and one office building.Two hotels you ask, well I thought I would be coming back earlier and checked out of the first hotel before I realized that I would have to stick around for another night. The first hotel had pillows that were just too hard, and the second hotel had pillows that were too soft. I guess if I had ended up staying in a third hotel it would have been just right and Goldie Locks would have taken my bed!
Actually the business partners I was working with were pretty cool. Their office has this crazy coffee machine that takes drink packets and then instant-brews whichever drink you throw in it. They had hot chocolate, various coffees, lattes, and even Japanese macha. It definitely had a "dot-com" feel to it, what with the $1000 designer chairs and curved white-board walls.Despite several wink-wink nod-nod attempts to recruit me I made it back to Canada with the same employer as I had when I left.
One odd thing, was the reaction of customs when I came back. "Two laptops? Why do you have two laptops? I don't even own one laptop." And then I was sent to the bad place where they inspect your stuff. I was let off once they realized that yes I had the laptops when I left the country in the first place, and the laptops were company property.

Haha, yeah, you're obviously looking like a muslim radical again, with, like, your facial hair and stuff. And your crazy last name.
Yeah, I love it when Goldie Locks drops by like that, though she's kind of a presumptuous little tart.
you know you work too hard when: you travel to another city and get 'excited' because the coffee machine can make mocha AND hot chocolate.
I think you're due for another vacation...
Well I'm coming to Edmonton soon, so hopefully that gets my mind back in a proper frame of reference.
Maybe next time you'll get to see the Rock n' Roll hall of fame. At least you have been to Cleveland!!
RE: "cup-a" check out tassimo.com add that to your wish list:)and ask for Gingersnap cookies too!
Cleveland - The question is now that you've been there would you go back on your own time?

Man, airline security pisses me off. You know they are a bunch of glorfied security guards who are super keen to abuse the tinest itty bit of power that they have.
"Excuse me sir, I'm going to root through all your stuff, messing it all up in the process. Cause I don't like your hair."
Me: "That's great. So how many terrorists did you catch today?"
And yes, they would then violate me in various ways. But my stinging retort would damage them for a lifetime.
I don't think that I'd go back there just for fun, it isn't much different from any other city to be honest.
