Y4 D298

Here I am in St Louis. My home for the next two weeks. I arrived yesterday about 3pm to 28 degree weather and snow flurries. Whee. B and I got up around 7, had breakfast at the hotel and then just hung out until it was time for me to go. She didn't go with me to the airport because that would have been harder for both of us. Both my flights were on time and not horribly packed. The flights themselves were pretty uneventful. Since I hadn't slept much the night before I slept through both of them. I was going to take the train from the airport but since I didn't know where I was going and it was nasty weather, I decided to take a cab instead. $45 but it was worth it. If I can, I will take the train today to get a feel for where things are since I have to be here so long. The hotel isn't horrible. I have a 14th floor room with a view of the arch and the city. There's also an Irish pub attached to the hotel. Something better than your standard hotel fare. I went in last night and had a burger. It was a little loud for me but it was St Patrick's Day so of course the place was hopping. I stayed for a little while and then went back to the room. Around 9 I started getting a really bad headache and laid down. I can't get on the ftp server I normally use for stuff because the stupid hotel blocks port 21 and it is pissing me off. I tried using an app through the browser but the file sizes are too large and it won't let me download anything. Point? I can't watch any of my shows. This makes me sad. I am going to be like three weeks behind on stuff. Yes, 1st world white whine problems. I get it. B called me around 10 and I remember some of the conversation. Mostly because I was exhausted and crashed out. Woke up this morning around 6 and had breakfast then struck out to find real rockstar. Success on that front. Now? Now I sit because I can't go onsite until Wednesday officially. Tomorrow I am having lunch with the client but it's an unofficial meet and greet.
