ok, trying something new. i'll go with this for awhile and see how it works. the idea is to try to come up with a clever 2-3 word summary of my subsequent post. all the kids are doing it....why can't i?
the chicgao trip went down. it was a loooong day, as i knew it would be. the best part was actually seeing the t-systems headquarters and meeting some of the people and putting names with faces of people i talk to alot. the blackberry device is a cool thing. hopefully i'll be getting one soon.
a couple of things...the first hitch i ran into was, funny, no rental cars at midway! not just with "enterprise" with whom i had my reservation, but no rental cars to be found with any agency, period! a couple of things came to mind, one was the seinfeld episode, you know the one. "anybody can just take a reservation...it's holding the reservation that's really the most important part of the reservation." also the scene in "planes, trains, and automobiles" that earned it an "R" rating. if you saw the movie, you know of what i speak. had to take a cab from midway to lisle, illinois for $72. on top of all that,i had a screwdriver (from my latop bag), and a small size swiss army knife from my keychain confiscated at midway. it was my own fault for being so careless. what bothers me a little was, why was it ok to take those things from the mpls-st.paul airport? there were a few other amusing anecdotes from the trip, but i'll either post later or tell you in person.
good news, my original recipts turned up in the mail. this is huge because this will facilitate a more timely reimbursement, which is critical due to the time of the year and the fact that we are spending money like rock stars at the moment.
more later...
