Weekly update

Well, I'm back from my training in Atlantic City. It was ok but I think I spent more time on planes than at training. I booked a direct flight there and I upgraded to first class for $100.00. Nice but I didn't drink any booze b/c my feet swell up. Well, I'd planned my flight to coordinate with my co-worker who was flying out of Little Rock. Turns out since there are no direct flights out of Little Rock to Philly my co-worker who rented the car got sent to Chicago where he had two flights cancelled before he could get on a flight to Philadelphia. Well instead of getting in at 1:00pm he got in at 5:30ish. I got in at close to 2:00pm so I had to wait around for him with my coworker from Memphis. By the time we got our car and actually made it to AC it was close to 9:00pm. Those two guys couldn't find their way out of a paperbag without a GPS. What should have been a hour and half drive turned into a three hour ordeal with them bickering about how to get there. Not cool. Well on the way back the only cheap direct flight was at 9:00ish in the am and that meant I had to get up at some ungodly hour so I decided to take a later flight. Only problem was that the flight didn't leave til 1:45pm and I'd stayed out drinking with my Sony rep and friends til 4:30am and we left the hotel at 9:00am to go to the airport. Lucky for me I got to sleep at the airport. So all and all it was an ok trip. Got invited to SXSW for the wknd but debating on whether I should go b/c I'm thinking about going for Easter. Don't know about Easter since I have tickets to the Hornets vs. Celtics game on the 22nd. FYI, I got to eat dinner at Bobby Flay's steakhouse at the Borgata(we stayed at the hotel). Yummy. Had a lobster/avocado cocktail(like shrimp cocktail) that was delicious. I'd been jonesing for lobster since I was in Hawaii.
