Beacon

I’ve got big plans. Big plans I say. Dan Goldin Day is fast approaching, and along with it BIG DRIVE OH FIVE. I am excited. I anticipate driving a lot longer than I anticipate, and getting lost in the great city of Chicago. Luckily I will still have free OnStar in my brand new GM vehicle, so I can ask them for directions. I think the free trial runs out in February (so after that no more long road trips – ha!).

-- Ok, I’m going to interrupt this post about BIG DRIVE OH FIVE because my manager just walked over to remind me that I had a class today that began at 9am and lasts all day. This would mean I would not have to do any work at all. I forgot all about it.

Which is a little strange, because getting out of work and the group for a day seems like something I’d remember…on the other hand I don’t remember a lot of schedule-oriented stuff, my brain latches on to more of the “obscure childhood cartoon” kind of information, and counts on reminders (like post-its, calendars, and microsoft outlook) to help out. And the training office is usually good about stuff like this, they send two confirmation emails for every class, and a third email confirming you received the confirmation emails, then a reminder email the day before the class – usually. This week though, no emails from the training center. So I blame them. I’ll just have to reschedule the class for the next available timeslot.

Well, me skipping out on an Excel seminar may mean I have to deal with the group today, but it works out better for you: If I had been in class I wouldn’t be able to post. –

That’s all for now folks… we’ll see what happens later on.

Make sure that you have plenty of coins to make it through all of the tolls around Chicago. I would estimate that you should have $7 in silver coins.
