Yesterday was annoying. Not the client part of it, but mostly the after part. Work stuff way too late in the day.

Got up, had breakfast which was acceptable and headed out to the client at around 7:15. Got onsite at 7:30 and sat and waited for my contact to arrive. He was running late and apologized profusely. No worries. Since this is a mentoring gig, it's not the end of the world. The whole thing is casual. Had about 11 students and we spent the day discussing databases, the best way to build things, etc. (Side note - just checked in for my flight and have the shittiest (to me) seats. This is going to be a lousy trip home too. FML.) We finished the day up around 4:30 and I headed back to the hotel. That's when the fun started.

Apparently m boss has closed a shit ton of deals. Including me being back on the road, next fucking week. I had to book flight, hotel, and car for next Weds - Sat at the last minute. Plus another trip in 2 weeks to NJ. Ugh. I wanted more miles so I shouldn't complain, but I am going to anyway dammit. Because I am human and that's life. Upside is next week I will have time to see the kid and visit with friends. That's good. That part really didn't bother me. It was the emails from a past client who somehow got his hands on my personal email address and is sending me a bunch of questions that I simply don't have time to help him with right now. I told him I could follow up on Tuesday and he pouted a bit. Dude, I am offering to help you for free so back off. Then there were a bunch of sales/marketing emails about one of our classes that has been going on for a week or more. Sales people drive me nuts. They just don't get things. Sigh.

Went and had dinner at the restaurant next door. Had prime rib dinner. Like full blown soup and salad dinner. It was ok. Not the best, but I was hungry. I did pick up some stuff at the grocery store for lunch and dinner today. I am set on that at least.

Watched some Orphan Black and went to bed around 10ish. Slept better, not great, but better.

On the Pokemon Go front, there's nothing here at the hotel, but I did get quite a bit at the client. They have a pokestop right in front of their entrance which was nice. I picked up quite a few things from it during the day. Got some basic critters and had an egg hatch. Picked up a tentacool from that.

Wished a couple of people happy birthday. One more this morning. I don't want to send it too early because of time changes. But don't worry, it's coming.

Time to shower and head down for breakfast. I have to leave here at 2am tomorrow which is going to be a bitch.
