I long for Saturday morning where I can sleep in at least until a whopping 7am. I have been up since 12:30am PST already. Aka 3:30am here in Hell. I won't be home until 2pm PST. At least that's when I land. When I actually get home will be later. Sigh. I can do it. Love those travel days.

Yesterday went well. VERY well in my mind. I had 22 students in the room which is a large class and hard to manage when you have people of varying levels of knowledge in the room. There were a couple of people who were frustrating not because of lack of skills but because the class was not advanced enough for them. Of course there were also the people who kept focusing on the data EVEN THOUGH I stressed many times that this wasn't a data class. One person in particular was really driving me nuts. She just wouldn't get it through her head that this was a product class and not a data bitch session.

Class ran from 8 until 5 on the dot on both ends. They brought us in chicken and ribs for lunch which was nice. The food was decent and there. Why do I think class went well? Because before we had left the SVP was already booking my next TWO trips. The next one will be October 21st in Atlanta and then we will do another session of the advanced products back in Florida. That one is going to be trickier to nail down on the calendar. It might not happen until December. As long as it happens this year so I can get the damn miles. The trip to Atlanta should be enough to keep my status for another year but I need BOTH trips to hit Diamond at Hilton. Ugh so close. I am currently 9 nights shy. 4 in Atlanta and 5 back here would do it.

Walked back to the hotel around 5:30 and was dripping sweat. This weather sucks balls. I was soaked when I got back. Had steak and fries at the bar for dinner, skyped with B and the kid, watched one Who episode and went to bed.

Oh my exciting life.
