To Whom It May Concern...

I walked in to get some water, and there was a puddle of coffee on the counter, dripping down onto the floor. Somebody had filled the water and filter, but did not put the empty pot on, instead, they left the half full pot on... 'Cleanup in aisle twelve!'

Well, since my last post, I've been to Chris' wedding, I've been sick with the flu, and I've updated my online footprint. Chris' wedding went very well considering. Brandi, the bride, was sick. Actually, Chris was too, but poor Brandi had the flu. She went to the hospital between the ceremony and reception to get a shot to settle her stomach. But for the ceremony and most of the reception she soldiered on and looked beautiful. Then I got it. I was down for a week with the flu, but for me it was mostly congestion and sore throat. It's been a week and a half, and I've still got a tickle in my throat. As for updates, I updated the link for LinkedIn.com that you'll see on the left. I've added several people, and been recommended a few times. Join in. I've also added a nice Gallery to my site: http://mark.phillk.net/gallery2/ . You'll see pics of the wedding there. This also offers slide shows, but is still hosted on my server. Works busy, I'...

So, yesterday, Wednesday, I embarked on my first out of state business trip for CAI. We were headed to DC. We got here at 8AM, got our rental car and were on the road by 9AM. I was driving. We got to DC and into a parking garage around 11:30 AM. Not too bad time-wise. We grabbed some lunch, a great deli on the corner of 3 St NW and E St NW, called Jacks. Took our lunch to the Judiciary building's cafeteria and ate. About 12:40 PM we headed up to the confrence/training room we were going to train in so we could be ready for the 1PM training. At 1:30, nobody was there. By about 3 PM we had found out nobody was going to be there, so we headed to the hotel and planned to be back the next morning. Just as we pulled into the parking lot of the hotel, we get a call. The attendees are at a Confrence out of state (New Orleans) all week. So, instead of training in DC this morning, I'm here back at the office.
