In DC

I got into Reagan airport last night, at about 10:00, but we didn't get to the hotel until about 11:30. And somehow, we managed to get charged $50 for a cab ride that should have been about 8 miles.
Now trying to find a place to eat that late at night was no small feat, either. The hotel desk clerk told us about a 24-hour diner that was about 4 blocks away.
We ate there, and got back to the hotel at about 12:30. I didn't get to bed until after 1:00, and didn't actually fall asleep until almost 3:00. Needless to say, I was up at 6, and in the lobby before 7.
Man I'm tired.

To the skies

I just got my marching orders for next week, and it looks like I'm headed to Southern California to sit in on a SQL Server 2005 Analysis Class that will be taught by Paul Turley.  This is pretty exciting.  I've already booked my flight, and I have a lot to do before I go, including buying some new clothes and shoes.

First Real Day of Unemployment

So for those of you that don't know, I left my job at Sagem Morpho last week.  I will be starting at Hitachi Consulting next week, effectively being unemployed for a week.  Fortunately, I had more than a week of vacation time saved up, so I'm still getting paid for this week.

It's hardly a vacation, though.  There's a lot going on this week, including getting new bedroom furniture and new mattresses.  Bridget and I moved our bed into one of the guest bedrooms last night, and slept in there.  I don't know how she handled it, but I was a little disoriented when I woke up.

I also had a weird dream about shaving my head, despite my hair continuing to grow in the process.

More as the mood strikes me.
