Yesterday was a pretty good day. For the most part. I was snarky and bored last night which wasn't a good thing since I was at a business function, but I also don't care.

Got up, bummed around in the morning doing morning type stuff. Went for a walk to find a CVS or similar. I needed razors, rockstar, and sunscreen. While I was out my friend called me to vent about some stuff. It's always nice to know I am not the only one who feels a certain way about things. She is frustrated with our directors and I totally understand her reasons. Same reasons I get frustrated sometimes with them. Got back to the hotel around 11 and said fuck it. I went down to the pool for two hours. I actually sat at a pool and relaxed. I had my tablet with me and watched some TV. I have been watching Alphas. Finished season 1 last night. It's a good show and I recommend it if you can find it. There are only two seasons so you don't have to stress. You can watch the whole thing and be done with it.

While I was at the pool I talked with my sister. I miss her. She is good people. If there is one thing I could change about my childhood it's that I wish I could have grown up with her. I won't use the word regret because in this situation there wasn't anything I could have down about it, but it does make me sad at times that we didn't get a chance to be even closer.

Came back up to the room around 1 and slept until 3. Talked to B for a while and then went and got ready. My boss called me around 4:30 to let me know he was inbound and that we could drive to the office together. No problem as we were 15 minutes away and this way I didn't have to take the bike. We didn't need to be there until 6:30 but when it got to be 6:20 and he wasn't down in the lobby yet, I started getting frustrated and anxious. I really dislike being late.

We get to their offices for this 'party'. It was a welcome reception for the training we will be doing today and tomorrow. Nice offices. Right on the ocean, surfboards all over, egg chairs hanging from rafters, and decent booze. The people? Meh. Not the employees, but the other attendees. It's a combination technical and sales training with what felt like more emphasis on the sales end. I could feel the sales slime in the room. I ended up sitting by myself for a while just drinking. As I posted on Facebook, can I help that I am like Tony Stark? A narcissistic, charismatic, alcoholic genius who doesn't play well with others? I socialized a little bit, but probably not as much as I should have. I also refused to wear the name tag because I wasn't about to poke a hole in a brand new sportcoat. Sorry.

We left the party around 9 and headed back. I didn't like any of the food at the party so I made him stop at taco bell for me. It was across the street from the hotel so I had little guilt. Talked to B some more and was in bed by 11.

All in all an acceptable day.
