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.
