Day 79 (287) – Welcome to Naperville

We made the trip up to the Slightly Drafty City this morning, and of course it didn’t go as well as planned.  We get about two hours away from our destination of sunny Naperville, Illinois, and of course the highway is closed.  So we then have to take back roads and detours and all of these confusing directions just get to the office to do work.  And the guys in the car were not too happy.

Me, I wasn’t too mad, but then again I slept for about 3 of the 6 hours it took.  And yes, I’m one of those people.  You know, the ones on the trip that fall asleep right when they get in the car, wake up 14 hours later right when you arrive, ready to go.  But it can be tough on us sleeping folks, we arrive at our destination well rested, and have to wait for all you “drivers and good friends who stayed awake to keep everyone else wake” to get some sleep and catch up.

So then we arrive at our business partner’s office and go straight into 4 hours of meetings (luckily I was well rested).  After meeting a bunch of people and learning a lot about what it is I’m actually working on, we headed over to our hotel.  After the 45 minute drive to our “really close” hotel, we checked in, and then grabbed some dinner.

And now I’m here, wasting time before going to bed, only to get up and spend 9 hours in meetings.  Don’t worry, I’ve already done all the necessary checking when in a hotel room.  I’ve: checked the Bible for money, checked under the bed for monsters, and any other checks that may be necessary (Adam and David know what I mean…).
