Y3 D356

You don't realize how much you are addicted to facebook until it starts misbehaving. If you are currently trying to log in, it's not playing nice. Just an FYI. Otherwise, let's talk about more important things, shall we?

Got up yesterday around the same time as now. It's only a five minute walk to my client but I wanted to allow enough time to get ready and be relaxed when I walked in the door. Mission accomplished. We had a very productive day of training. I have six people in the room and we are doing this as an informal mentoring gig. They had a worksheet of specific things they wanted to cover and we were able to stay on track and keep to the time we had available. We worked from about 8 until 4:30. This client apparently likes me and I enjoy them too. Smart, quick, yet not cocky that they think they know everything. Good folk to be honest.

After work I went back to the hotel and changed. I then headed to the close by restaurant and had a couple of drinks for happy hour. I was going to walk around a bit but I got lazy. The weather here is very Hawaii right now - slightly overcast, very humid, not quite warm, but not cold either. It's weather I love. I sat at the bar and ended up having a burger.

Left the bar around 7:30, came back to the room, sat on my balcony watching the river below, sent an email to The Date, watched a couple episodes of Fringe (that's my new one for this trip. I have all four seasons and am now like five episodes into it), watched a really cool lightning storm over the horizon, and went to bed. A couple of emails came in pretty late for me but at least no one called to bug me this time forgetting I am currently in EST.

Today is Diablo 3 day. 12 years after the original, D3 is finally out. Will I buy it? Meh. Yes, but not right now. I have enough going on that it's not worth it. I can't believe I just said that. I am excited to play it, sure, but at $60? Not to mention the overwhelmed servers? No, I will wait until I get back from Disneyland next week and then buy it. I don't care about PvP or online play so it's not like I am going to miss out on anything.

Shower time.
