I have such the headache this morning. Heat all night. Forced air spilling all over me. The heater in this poor room hasn't been able to shut off once. It's not as cold as it was, but it still isn't pleasant here that's for sure. I just looked and it's currently 0 which is a serious improvement over the -20 it was when I left here yesterday for the client. Yeah, you read that right, -20. I went outside to go to the client yesterday and nearly fell over. I forgot gloves and trying to scrape ice off my windshield without them was pure hell. I had to sit there for a good 15 minutes before the heater on my car could even make a dent in the windshield. Not a fun time.
I managed to make it to the client without issue. I did stop at a quickie mart on the way and grabbed gloves. They are work gloves but they were better than nothing.
The client is good. 13 people showed up, all women. Matter of fact, the majority of the people in the section I am working are women. I am teaching the product development group in the middle of the product development building. A nice change from my usual IT crowd. You can also tell this is the midwest; very basic white girl names on a lot of these ladies. But they are really nice, paid me a ton of compliments, and are eager to learn. I can't ask for anything more.
Finished at 5 and got back to the hotel around 5:40 to walk right into the middle of the Saltzman-Rosenblat wedding. Nope, not kidding. A traditional Orthodox Jewish wedding was happening at the hotel on a Thursday night. Go figure. It was crazy. A few hundred people all milling about with kids and noise. It was a mad-house. But since they were setup in a ballroom, the restaurant was at least quiet and empty.
Had diner, hit the room, bed at 10. One more day. Have an early flight out tomorrow and the weather should be accommodating. I should make it home with no issues. We shall see. But first, day two.
