Ahhhh, business travel

So I’ve decided that traveling for work…in a word sucks.  I’m tired of eating out for every meal.  The flight out here (the long one, from Chicago to LA) was awful (thank you, airline industry for sucking even worse than you used to)…I think we need a corporate jet.  And my body is out of whack, too.  I’ve actively been up since 5:45am, and can’t go back to sleep.  Of course, I went to bed at 8pm local time, too.  :-/  The first night, there was no free wireless Internet in the hotel.  Ten bucks for a day’s worth of connection time, when all I need is less than an hour?  At least now at the next hotel it’s free, but it’s 1) a very weak signal, and 2) the slow 11mps wireless Internet.  Who the heck doesn’t have wireless-g anymore?

And don’t even get me started on the reasons I’m out here…I’m not even sure where to begin with that.  I might address some of those concerns in a later posting, but I guess we’ll see.  I’ll just say that it looks like I’m on the brink of a possible IT nightmare, one of those stories you read about in tech journals and say “whew, glad that wasn’t me!”.  Yay?
