Much to my surprise, we had training in Rhode Island for work and they wanted me to go. I wasn't very excited about it and I wasn't sure I was up for it but before I knew it, it was time to go. I took different flights than my team. When I got to the airport, I decided to see if I could walk it. I did just fine. I also walked the connection in Detroit. I felt empowered. It's been a long time since I was able to do that. Now don't get all excited. I was leaving Salt Lake from the C concourse and Detroit has a train inside but it was still good.
Training was good. About Consultative skills. I've done the same class about 10 years ago but it was good to do it again. But honestly the best part was getting together with the team and seeing people I've not seen for at least 2 years. We've also grown lots as a team in that time so there were new people to meet!
I can't navigate the parking lot at the office well so Meki, my co-worker was my driver. It is hard to not feel like "Driving Miss Daisy" getting dropped at the door and picked up the same. But I appreciated her help.
Besides working all day in training, I had to work back at the hotel too. So it was killer long days with about 14-15 hours a day spent working or getting to and from work. That is just flat ridiculous. The first two nights, I ate lobby food but the last night, I tossed my arms in the air (with a private bird flying...if I say so myself) and went to dinner with a few of the ladies on the team. We went to an Italian restaurant and I decided to order a sangria. It was delicious.

I had a long layover in Atlanta. So I had lunch/dinner at Cat Cora's
restaurant at the airport. I loved it and was thrilled I got to enjoy another Iron Chef's menu.. |
