October Entry

- Work -

Tolerable, yet still sucky. For a while I’ve been working off of 4 computers and 2 offices. It’s not bad or work heavy. It actually does help make time go faster.

I did have to go to Florida (10.20.07-10.23.07) for a trucking convention. THAT sucked really so much. Firstly, I’m there with our ex-president Kyle (why is he still with us when he decided to leave months ago). At least his brother Butch is cool. Secondly, the motel lost our reservations (not really too big a deal since we just got the rooms anyways). Thirdly, the room itself was really dirty. Less than 5-minutes of walking around and my socks turned black. It was that dirty. I ended up putting a trail of towels from the bathroom to the carpeting in the room so I could cleanly jump onto one bed to the other one I chose to sleep on. There were also little…mites or something crawling around. AND the A/C unit was messed up. At first I thought it wasn’t cold because the vent was pointed down. So I tried to point it upwards, but that would require me breaking it. Even on full blast the air wasn’t blowing strong enough making it hard for me to sleep (would take 1-2 hours to fall asleep from originally wanting to sleep). By the way, something interesting, (well, not “interesting”) it took the freezer one whole day to freeze a small tray of ice cubes. Yeah…and not a night went by without me hearing sirens.

By the way, 3 morning of eating Denny’s…ugh…

And then there’s the convention itself. Trucking convention…boring…not many people there…little activity. At least the first convention I went to was for almost any kind of company. This one had almost nothing. There was one booth that had a Deal or No Deal theme, one had a large vase full of pennies where they got people to guess how many were inside, 4 booths had putting, 1 had a loading truck driving simulator…and that’s probably all worth mentioning. I did participate at a General Electric booth that had a Wii and Madden playing. Winner of the field goal competition would win a Bret Favre autographed helmet. I got 2nd place. But yeah…I think we maybe got less than 15 contacts after 3 days of 2 and half hour convention time…and I want to say I got more than half of those.

So Florida sucked bad. Howard Johnson motels suck bad. Going motel-convention-motel sucked bad. No internet sucked bad. Flying…wasn’t that bad (I just can’t handle take-offs, turbulence, and landing all too well). Just glad to be home.

Guess there wasn’t much to talk about this time. Most of it was about work. November will bring game reviews and other things. And then December/Christmas is soon.
