Cold Cold

It is really cold here in Dayton. I'm definitely ready for my trip to San Diego this weekend for some sunshine. I arive in SD on Thursday night and am leaving on the red eye Sunday. Ironically i have to fly through DC to get to Atlanta on Monday. The good news is that this weekend trip will bump me up to the next status level on United. Let's hope my first upgrade will be weekend on my red eye. 

There has been a little drama at the office too. Our partners for this project have not been up to the task so far. It's been a big time drain checking and redoing there work. The good news is that we had a conversation yesterday and they will now be working semi independently of us. This will free up a lot time. The bad news I will still have to check their work product which makes me a bit nervous about what I will find. 

Be happy you aren't in Dayton!

I'm back

I know it has been forever. Not surprisingly, I lost motivation for a bit so let's give this another try. 

Since I last checked it there has been lots going on. There was a project in Los Angeles, a trip to Yosemite, my current project in Dayton Ohio, and the USC v. ND game in South Bend.

I am currently entering my 7th week in Dayton and the plan is to be there through February. So far the project is going well. I think I am finally starting to get the hang of this job. It doesn't hurt having a client that I know a bit about either. 

Looking forward I am going to be in San Diego this upcoming weekend then I will be in Atlanta next week. It's going to be a lot of travel but it will be good to be back in CA for a bit. 

Here's to a good week. I will try to keep up with this. 

Travel pains

It's 1:45am and I just landed in Chicago. I landed to a voicemail fro. The W hotel saying they overbooked and don't have my room. So much for executive platinum at SPG. Now in in my way to the Westin, which is not that close to where I need to be in 6 hours and I'm sitting in stop and go traffic. Just great. 

First week rush

It is been a good first week. So far the teams is working well together. Last night the team went out to dinner, and it was pretty fun.   I took every one to Shabu which was a first for most the people on the team. 

It's a little unfortunate that I have to leave early this week to go to training. It would be best If could stay around for last two days of the week to make sure that I finish strong this week, but that's the way goes.  Next update I'll be in Chicago.

Day one

I'm about to kick off day one of the new project. The hotel they have us at is nice. It's a golf resort right in the middle of commerce. Who knew?  

The weekend was pretty solid hanging out in MB.  Got to see all the friends. Now off to the factory. 

Zone 1 & 2

How does united managed to squeeze the whole plane into zones 1 & 2 when there are 5 zones?
