I am technically now Diamond! Last night was night 60. Now, it won't actually go against my account until I check out and they process everything which means my account won't reflect the change until probably Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, but I hit it. I will actually show as having 62 nights when I check out on Saturday. This means when I go to Colorado in 10 days I will be going as Diamond. Damn. Milestones.

Yesterday was a rough day. I have three PhD candidates in my class. I fucking hate doctorate people. They don't "do", instead they want to "discuss". They have to know the why behind everything instead of just doing things and that is annoying as hell. We are 3-4 hours behind because we have had to do intro material plus a 2 hour philosophical discussion about how this will fit into their day to day things. In other words, a waste of fucking time. I need them to put on blinders in some respect and focus on the material I am trying to teach them and stop worrying about the long term picture. I don't have weeks or months with them, just days. Made for a very exhausting day yesterday. Got through it though. Luckily I have a bit of a buffer in the schedule and will still make it through all of the material.

Got back to the hotel around 5:30 and decided on BBQ for dinner. Meh. It was okay. Nothing exciting. Talked to B. She is excited about today because she gets paid and she will get to see the fruit of her labor. I did have an interesting phone call with my coworker about 2014 and what we plan to do with the training team. Let's see how that all plays out over the next month. I don't expect anything to change right away but he has some interesting ideas.

Couldn't sleep because I was too worked up about the day and stayed up later than I would have liked. I am pretty beat this morning. I hope today is easier.
