I am up way too early yet again. Yay travel days. It's fucking 12:30am back home and I am about to get on the road soon to drive to the airport. I just hope I can get some sleep on the second leg of my flight today. I doubt I will given that I have a three hour layover in Dallas. At that point I will be so 'awake' it will be hard to sleep. Sigh. A nap will be due when I get home.

Yesterday went really well for me business wise. It was a free form mentoring day and we went over all sorts of things. We broke for lunch and the group of us went to BBQ. It was pretty good. It wasn't the best I have ever had, but it didn't suck either. While I was at lunch, the client I am going to be at next week texted me and told me to block of a certain set of dates in July as he wants me to do training for yet another group. I am cool with that because right now I have six days free in June but two whole weeks still open in July. Need to start booking those days. Then in the afternoon session we started talking about one topic which ended up getting both the director and the CTO involved. In the end after an hour or two of talking it looks like I may have lined up a 50k+ future engagement for us with this client. THAT'S what my training classes do for the company. I am the 'hook' if you will. Bring me in, let me get them excited, let them see where they have gaps, hire us to fill the gaps. A simple three day training class turns into a 3 month engagement. Bam. Felt good about that.

Got back to the hotel around five and watched some TV. For dinner I went to a place called "Raising Canes". They only do chicken fingers. Yep. That's it. I was reading about their background and how everyone thought they were nuts for having such a simple menu, but it works. They have multiple franchises across the country and I have to admit, the food was pretty good.

Kept watching shows and trying to sleep. I knew I needed some sleep but it was hard coming. I talked to B a bit but she had a bad headache coming on and didn't feel much like talking. I ended up falling asleep around 10 and woke up at 2. Yay me.

Time to go home.
