I should be very stressed out this morning but for some reason I am taking things in stride. I am out of money, the kid lost her phone, I am being asked to speak at a conference with no prep material or time, and yet, I am relatively calm right now. I don't know what this says about me. Is it that things are so overwhelming I have capitulated to a fuck it stand point or am I just learning how to handle life better? One of the two for sure.
Went into the office early yesterday. Stopped at Lincoln's Waffle House. Had steak, eggs, and grits. Not too shabby for $7. This is 100% a federal client and these guys do not start even one minute before 9am. We ended up sitting for a 1/2 hour twiddling our thumbs. But once we got in, it was a really productive day. These guys are very impressed by what I was able to accomplish quickly. I am leaving with a positive image.
Got back to the hotel around 6. The weather here is PERFECT. It was about 75 with a light breeze last night. It was a great walk back. I got a little warm on the way back, but not bad. Not hot, just warm. We met up around 7:30 with a couple of our co-workers who happen to be in VA for another client. The four of us went out to dinner at a chophouse. Not bad. $200 for 4 with drinks is not a bad tab. Heavy meal though. A little too starchy for me. I had the lamb chops and they came with what felt like 5 lbs of potatoes.
Got back to the room around 11 after walking by the white house again. It was cool to see it at night.
This morning I am sitting around until a 1pm flight. I am going to try and get on an earlier one, but no promises.
Now to deal with the kid's phone issue...
