Y5 D150

In Atlanta. In all my travels, I think this is the first time I have ever been in Atlanta. Not that I will see much of it. I am a whopping 3 miles from the airport, my client is two miles from here, and I have no car nor time to do anything. This is a quick trip. I arrived yesterday around 3 est, teach from 7:30 - 5 each day, and then leave at 6:30am on Thursday. So hello and goodbye Atlanta.

Flights here were pretty uneventful. B did not like being up at 4am to take me to the airport but she managed. She didn't get to go back to sleep which through her whole day off but welcome to my world. I was up from 3am until 8pm yesterday myself.

Got to Chicago around noon and managed to score an earlier flight. Once again I had the fun of bumping people down the standby list. There were about 8 people on the list when I walked up to the counter and asked if they had room for me. Oh look, my name is at the top now. And oh looked, I am cleared for a seat. Saved me two hours of bumming around an airport. No complaints here.

I did have one small issue when I got to Atlanta; the hotel shuttle wasn't working which I only discovered by calling the hotel. I waited at the hotel pickup area and was seeing shuttle after shuttle for everyone but my hotel. I finally called to make sure I wasn't being stupid. They told me to take a cab and they would reimburse me. Okay. When I got to the hotel I asked instead of reimbursing me, give me points. They gave me 5,000 extra bonus points. That's like 25% of a Disney room. I will take it. I need a Disney trip bad and anything I can do to get closer helps.

Walked around to find Rockstar (only found the zero variety which tastes like crap I am discovering) then came back and had dinner in the hotel. Had a burger and fried green tomatoes. Tonight I think I will hit an irish pub down the street. Better than what I had last night.

Talked with B and helped her solve a network issue. The modem needed to be reset and I was able to walk her through it. I tried going to bed around 10est but couldn't sleep until 11 because of time changes. Was up and down all night.

Today I have to be 'on' so need to wake up. I have a ride in 90 minutes. Let's see how it goes.
