The thoughts that float through my head when I remember to jot them down. An insight into the madness that is me.

Wow. What a week.
I'm exhausted and it's not even over yet.
First, get in late to Little Rock, co-worker doesn't have a car reservation like he should and now we're in Little Rock, it's like 11pm, and there isn't a single car available in the whole city. There's like one cab driver too.
We finally get to the hotel, it's midnight or so, gotta be out the door at 7:00AM
Presentation goes fairly well, don't get out the door until 5pm though so not to Fayetteville untl something like 9pm, eat dinner, get conned into going out for a while, shouldn't have done that. Back to the room at 1:00am ish, up at 7:30am, present to a huge customer, then spend the rest of the day getting drug into one project or another without being able to finish what I wanted to do that day, and then, get in a car after 5pm and drive to BFE Arkansas where I have no internet to speak of, and my cell phone doesn't work.
Great customer to visit though, so it's a quandary. Finally get back to Fayetteville around 1pm. My flight is hosed, won't make connection, lots of weather problems, but oh, this plane wasn't affected by it, it just broke.
Great. They put me on a flight that has me sitting in St. Louis for something like 8 hours. Co-worker get's flight through Dallas gets him home at 5:30. I beg to be on that flight, get on it. Life is good.
but wait, the flight gods aren't done with me yet.
Load plain up, whoo hoo, ready to go, start to back up and stop suddenly.
Captain comes on the radio, we've got a plain coming in without a nose gear, airport is shut down, can't get out, can't do anything but sit here.
Plain finally crashes, they keep it all upbeat and have turned the plane so we can't see it anyway, takes them another hour to clean off the runway, we get going.
I'm sitting next to some lady scared to death of flying. Every bump, grumble, or what not from the plane has her screaming to Jesus to save her, very annoying.
Miss flight, next flight leaves in 30 min, run boy run. Go from A Satellite in DFW to B Gate in 15 min, think it's a record.
Get on the plane, decent seat, load up.
Thinkin 'finally, get to go home'
Oh no, the airport gods aren't done with me yet.
'Uh, Ladies and gentlemen, there is a plane blocking us in, it appears the tow bar broke and won't come off their landing gear, it's going to be a little bit.
ARGH
Get to KC finally at like 8:30ish, finished all three Harry Potter books on this trip, and had nothing to read except the American Way magazine for the last 30 min of the KCI flight. But I'm home, eat dinner over in KC, get home around 9PM, wife talks on the phone to her cousin until 10PM, get to watch the previews for That 70s show and Enterprise finally. Find out my Satellite equipment will be here on Friday, start putting together my new stereo cabinet, life is good.
Except I have probably three mad reps who weren't able to get ahold of me on Mon - Thus about their accounts, so I'm behind already.
