Y9 D22

I have been up for almost 3 hours. Once more I had to wait to post so it didn't show up as Friday's post. I have been at the airport for an hour already. Another hour to go until I can get through security. There is a 6:40 Alaska flight I am going to try and get on instead of my 6:20 American. Why? I won't have to go through DFW and it gets me home almost 3 hours earlier. If the flight change cost isn't too bad, I may just do it.

Taught day two of my group yesterday. We went until about 12:40. It was scheduled for a 1/2 day and we were right on the money. Really good group. They were happy and we discussed a possible second session in the UK later this year. I can handle that. I could use the miles. I will be at Gold by the end of this trip but that would give me a big boost towards another year of platinum.

Got back to the hotel around 1 and found out they don't do lunch. Fuck. I had to wait until 5pm to eat anything. And the hotel was insane. I was one block from Princeton and what I didn't realize is this is a graduation weekend. There was about 1,000 Indian people checking in. I am not exaggerating. I just got asked at the airport by an Indian guy how to GET TO Princeton. They're still coming in.

I ate at 5, slept from 6:30 - 9:30, then again from 10-12. Decent for me. Lucky I had the suite and could close the bedroom door off to minimize the noise. Out in the main part of my room the people next door were noisy as hell. Down in the lobby about 25 of the Indian folks were having a pizza party. Literally in the fucking lobby. When I went down this morning there were pizza boxes all over. You can tell when people have come from a caste system. They expect the "lowly" people to take care of their shit. They're too good to clean up after themselves apparently.

Fuck I can't wait to get home. I have a full week next week but man, to be home for at least a day with nothing to do will be nice. I did send my boss a message this morning telling him he pushed me too hard this month. i explained the problem, how it was affecting me, and offered a potential solution for the future. I didn't swear or get angry. I hope he takes the time to read it and acknowledge the issue.

That's about it for now. Home in 15 hours depending on if I switch flights or not. Fun stuff.
