Had a first today \u2013 missed my flight home. It was totally my fault, and Airtran was very nice about it \u2013 simply rebooking me on the 9:30pm (I missed the 6:44 by arriving at 6:55, close, but no pleasant evening with friends). So here I sit in Terminal D of BWI \u2013 nursing some kinda airport beer and asking if they\u2019ll substitute coleslaw for the fries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking of fries \u2013 I\u2019m fried. Too much travel \u2013 too many fires. I\u2019ve been on back to back trips for two weeks now \u2013 and (more important) averaging above 50% on the road for the past three months. That\u2019s excessive. I renewed my gold status at my favorite hotel chain and rental car company in less than a quarter. Eek. The reason for all this excitement is that things are coming to a head at a couple of different customer sites. I\u2019m actually excited at the chance to finally fix<\/strong> things for these people (rather than replacing band-aids again) \u2013 but in the words of my colleage: \u201cthe allure of the tiny soaps wore off a long time ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, when redmed<\/a> pranked me for ignore the internet day<\/a> by saying that she wanted to quit her job and start a In other news, I\u2019m continuing to purify the mental environment. Facebook, twitter, and livejournal are tools for me. They do not exist to make me a slave to anyone. Therefore, I\u2019ve been quietly purging the ranks. If I\u2019m no longer rising to your flamebait \u2013 it\u2019s probably because I noticed that I got pissed off most of the time you tweeted or updated a status. It\u2019s not that I don\u2019t like you. Drop in any time for a civilized cup of tea \u2013 it\u2019s just that your presence on the net bugs me. No hard feelings, mmm\u2019kay?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Had a first today \u2013 missed my flight home.

I\u2019m still running numbers in my head \u2013 and I don\u2019t think that we can be right in the stylish part of town unless we have a prostitution or alcohol sideline. $4k per month rent for a storefront is just too high \u2013 especially if we want to quit our day jobs. However, if we can do something creative to make the storefront pay for itself \u2026 there are possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
