Yesterday ended up being a very long day. I was up at 2:48 and didn't go to bed until almost 10:30. Long day.

First part of the day was teaching the second half of the class to the folks in Florida. That went as well as could be expected. Some of the demos once more had performance issues, then there were security issues, but we got through it in one piece. I was done with my day around 9am. At least with the formal part. There was then a back and forth of 'discussions' of how everything went. That went on for the next two hours. I had hoped to take a nap but nope. Not happening.

The maintenance guy came by around 1pm to fix some weatherstripping on our door and in the process fucked our doorjamb up. It now requires you to press the door pretty hard to lock the deadbolt. I need to find some better stuff this weekend. Can't have the door being that hard to use. His attitude was 'this is what they're sending me'. Okay bud. It's fine. I will fix it.

Around 4 I finally heard back on the whole insurance issue. Apparently we did fire someone from the consulting side of things. There are only like 3 of us up here and I think I know who it was. I'm not close to him in any way and won't be reaching out but it still sucks. As for me, I still have insurance.

At 4:30 we headed out for Feast. I wanted to be excited but I was annoyed at the prospect of spending 2.5 hours taking trains there and back for what would end up being maybe 2 hours on site. It was another one of those times where I was annoyed at living in the fucking suburbs. But don't think I can ever get B to change. She's a suburb person and that's the way it is. Regardless, I was more annoyed than excited when we left.

We got to the site where it was happening around 5:40 and there was already a line to get in. We were about 50th or so in line. Not counting the early entry VIP and special ticket holders. My tickets were common folk and we had to go stand in line and wait. Joy. The other issue was it held in essentially a gravel lot which made walking difficult at best. B was wearing sandals and they were a mess and her feet were killing her just walking from the train station to the line.

Got in at 6. Imagine a farmer's market with chefs and lines. Some of the stuff we ate was good. Most was unmemorable to be honest. Best thing I had was ice cream in a churro bowl. The theme was latin american and that meant way too much spice on everything. We did have surprisingly a vegan taco that was really good.

We left around 7:15 and got home about 8:40. B was exhausted and fell asleep. I tried to warn her not to do it, but she did. And now she has been awake since 3:30am and is sitting in bed. If she falls back to sleep now, she will be out of it until noon. Fun stuff.

Nothing to do today. Tomorrow is flight check in and the like. No upgrades received yet. I am not expecting any to be honest. It's a PHX flight which isn't always the best. But I am glad to be going on the road even if it is to NJ.
