Took two alarms this morning to wake me up. Still very tired and could sleep for another hour or two.  I went to bed at a pretty decent time too. It's not like I stayed up late or anything. I was in bed by 9:45. Of course it didn't help that some dickwad IP spoofer called me at 11:15 and woke me up from a good sleep. That fucked me up for a good half hour. I was already into a REM cycle too. Why can't we have lawmakers that deal with important issues like spammers, conners, and pieces of shit like this? I would make the fines and punishments so large that people would actually be discouraged from doing shit like this. It pisses me off to no end. To me any kind of spam or unsolicited bullshit like this is such an invasion of privacy. I want to track them down and gouge their fucking eyeballs out with a spoon. Yes, it makes me that angry. Once I did fall back to sleep it was a good sleep. Lots of weird dreams. I was being shot at in one. That was oodles of fun. I need to stop watching/reading Mark Millar stuff. I watched Kick-Ass 2 last night. That didn't help matters much.

My class went okay. The day started off with one of them coming in and stating up front that he would be my worst students because he had been their trainer for 10 years. I could sense the animosity coming from him. He immediately criticized our manuals for not being in color. What a lovely way to start the day. The only real satisfaction was at the end of the day when he said to me on the way out "you're good". Yeah, I am buddy, thanks. Now don't be a dick the rest of the week.

We finished around 5:10 and by the time I got back to the hotel it was 6. I did stop on the way back in a very sketchy neighborhood for dinner. I won't normally get out of the car in certain places, but there was a Church's chicken. I haven't had their food in forever. It was worth getting out of the car. Yes, everyone there stared at me but I didn't care. Church's chicken is worth it.

I did go back out around 8:30 to a nearby walmart for rockstars. That was an adventure. I keep finding myself in these less than optimal areas. It's what I get for basing my hotel criteria on proximity to the client. Most clients are not in the greatest residential type areas, especially here in the South or on the East coast. What are you going to do? You just try to survive and move on.

Nothing else exciting going on right now. Today is Wednesday I think. Couple more days and I am back home. I haven't heard anything from my Florida people which worries me a bit. I am not dealing with them until Monday anyway, but it just scares me when they go radio silent. There's a project I can't wait to be over.

Day two of formal training today followed by one day of mentoring tomorrow and then I am out of here.
