Are we there yet?

I got up a bit before noon, packed my things and headed out into the world. I checked my bags in at the hotel desk so I could roam the city freely. I had some thai food for an early lunch (not such a great idea on an empty stomach.) Nothing really to do in the area that I was staying other than shop so I did some window shopping and picked up a couple of items at the drug store. I also bought a game and PS2 DVD controller at EB. :D

I got kinda bored so I decided to get to the airport early. I could at least sit in a corner and read if nothing else. So I made my way back to the hotel and collected my bags. I bought more stuff from Lush than would fit into my already full backpack so they very thoughtfully packed into a single box to make it easier for me to transport home. So I made myself a handle for it with some transparent duct tape that I picked up earlier at the drug store. I have to say that's some cool stuff. Not only is it clear, but it's a lot easier to work with than the silver stuff.

So I set off for the airport at a leisurely pace. When checking in I was offered an earlier flight, so I'm now on standby for that flight. The computer decided that I was special today and tagged me for additional screening. It wasn't too bad, only delayed me a few minutes, and the people were both friendly and professional.

Now I'm at the gate and I've got another hour before the plane takes off, I figured that I'd make a post at a blazing 9600 baud.

Today started out with me being woken by my phone. This is a wonderful thing to have happened because not only was it crankygirlie calling, but I had screwed up setting the alarm last night and it would never have gone off.

I made it to work with perfect timing. I spent a bit of time helping daveman692 with the project he's working on and did a bit of my own stuff. I then had two meetings in a row followed by a trip to see another prospective colo facility. By the time we got back from that the day was pretty much over. I sat down with dorkmatt and we went over rack setups and what we should be using. We were the last two out of the office by the time we got done with that. I then headed back to my hotel, stopping in at the Virgin Megastore where I picked up a copy of Logan's Run for $8 and Lush to pick up a few nice smelling things for crankygirlie. I went back to my hotel room to drop things off and then headed out in search of food. I didn't have to go far before I found a super tasty (and cheap!) Thai place across the street. I think that I'll have lunch there tomorrow too.

Now I'm back at the hotel. I'm doing backups for LJ and I think that I'll watch that movie now.

Today was another long one. After dragging myself out of bed I got into work just in time for a meeting. After getting a very small amount of work done I was whisked off to lunch with the whole LJ crew at 21st Amendment. Totally delicious. Then dorkmatt and I toured 365 Main. After that I got to sit down and work for another few minutes before it was time to leave.

I headed back to my hotel room to drop off my laptop and such and then jumped on the BART and over to Berkeley to meet up with mooflyfoof. We had thai food and she introduced me to some tasty hard cider. mooflyfoof, the cider, and myself got along very well :)

Then I rode BART back here to the hotel and posted this. Now I think I need to pass out.
