I had one night to actually sleep and I did it. Mostly. I slept from 9:30 to 12:45, then from 1 to 4:15. I will take it. Best sleep in five days. And of course the only one night because I have to leave at 2am tomorrow. Whee.
Got onsite WAY too early yesterday. Was in the room at the hotel at 4:15am. I went back and checked all my notes and found that we had never settled on a start time. Stress much? I was there and ready regardless of when they showed up. Which they started doing around 7:15. At least two of them. Many of them were staying at the hotel where we were doing the training. It was weird doing a training in a hotel but also very convenient. Everything I could need was provided. We ended up starting around 8:45 and went until 4:40. A very active, focused group. I received many compliments from the students and the host. They even gave me one of their swag items, a pen and stylus set. 16 people total and I learned they were coming from all over which is why this particular hotel was chosen.
After class I headed back to the hotel and got stuck in really bad NJ traffic. Took me 25 minutes to just make a left hand turn. 5 miles took me forty minutes. I was not happy when I checked in. Luckily I have a very nice suite. Of course I am not here long enough to appreciate it. It's right next door to Princeton University and the place is packed with parents, prospectives, an asian tour group, etc. But my room is at the end of a hall and when I closed the bedroom door I heard nothing. It was nice. Had dinner in my room, some french onion soup and a salmon salad. May have the same tonight.
That was about it. Ate, relaxed, went to bed. Today we are doing a half day, then I have 2pm conference call, then sleep so I can leave at 2am for the airport. I get home around 3:30pm tomorrow afternoon. Then I need to book a trip to SC. Sigh.
