Showered and ready to go! I want to get back to the states so I can have time to do laundry and go off to WA! Whee! Lucky fucking me! I am finally walking without a cane but at the same time I am pretty sure I have done permanent damage or at least long term damage to my leg. I can't quite walk without a noticeable limp. Lovely.
Class went great yesterday. No issues that I am aware of at least. We finished up around 3 and I headed back to the hotel. I did one last 7-11 run for Canadian stuff. I have an entire bag full of chips, candy bars, and smokes. I look like the world's lamest smuggler. Around 5:30 I went to this one place everyone raved about. The raves were right on. I sat at the bar and did the chef's tasting menu. Four courses with wine pairing. Holy sweet mother of god was it worth it. $100 for the whole thing with tip but man so worth it. I enjoyed a nice 90 minute dinner which included an oyster amuse, beet salad, lamb ragout, beef strip, and maple bourbon three ways. All of which came with wonderful pairings. Heaven.
Got back to the room, packed, watched some tv, went to bed early so I could be sure to be up early. I have a preferred seat on flight 1 and business class on flight 2. Yes, I upgraded. Yes, I stuck the company with another $200. Do I feel bad? A little. BUT if anyone pushes back, here's my argument - I could have taken 4-6 weeks disability for my leg. Even more serious, I could be suing the company for forcing me to go 5 weeks straight on the road 4 of those injured and the reason why there may be permanent damage is all their fault. I am pretty sure I could find a lawyer to take that case. At least get a couple years salary out of a settlement. But I'm not, because I'm not that guy. Plain and simple. Instead, throw me a bone, put me on a plane, let me be happy. It works for everyone as far as I am concerned.
Time to finalize packing and get the hell out of Canada. Birthday party tonight. This will be a pain.
