Greetings from Nashville. I'm holed up in a hotel room watching poker on television and eating peanuts out of a rocks glass.
I always wanted to be a "business lady" when I was a little kid. I've been doing that for years and years now and I love it. So you'd think I would have this whole business travel thing down... but I still screw it up at least a few different ways every time...
I got here yesterday afternoon, checked into my room, and decided to take a long walk before grabbing some lunch. I am fully aware of my ability to get lost in my own neighborhood, so I told myself I could only walk on one street, so I couldn't lose the hotel. Yeah, I got lost in 10 minutes. But after another hour of walking around trying to look like I knew where I was going, I found a Bosnian cafe that I knew was close to the hotel. I grabbed an order of "Bosnian Food" and went back to the room.... but I had already lost my key.
All of that proves me to be slightly flighty- but I also had to throw in something embarrasing, or it wouldn't have been a successful trip. In order for me to travel, I need to have my Blackberry and my iPod attached to me at all times- I sort of look like Batman, but more like a huge dork. So I've got both of these items attached to my pants all day. What I don't notice is that one of the times I went to the bathroom during the day my panties got slightly wrapped around my Blackberry holster....
So it's possible I was walking around with underwear wrapped around my communication devices for around 8 hours... and you know, even if it was only one... I'm still a big loser.
Oh, whoops... I have to go take clients to lunch now.... more later... I need to concentrate on not falling down or flashing anyone for the next hour... |
