The Eating Problem

There is a problem with eating on the road.

It's like when you have been given the opportunity to walk around the worlds greatest roller coaster park for free and ride all the rides you want. Except that you actually have a ride limit and can only ride about 3 rides a day.



It's still cool though because you still get to ride roller coasters, and for free too but it also kinda stinks cause you can't ride more than your 'roller coaster daily limit'.

I guess it's only bad if you love riding roller coasters. I know one girl who hates riding roller coasters and has no problem riding the kiddie coaster everyday. We tell her its made for five year olds but she doesn't care. "I like the kiddie coasters!" is what she says whenever we try to get her to ride the good rides. Oh well.

It would be different if I had to pay for myself to ride the roller coasters. I don't think I would try to reach my limit everyday.

Getting In The Wrong Car

Getting in the wrong car is usually not a problem for most people. Consultants on the other hand drive a new car every week. One of my co-workers sat down in his car and tried to start it but quickly ran into issues.

When the key stops halfway into the ignition it usually means you have a problem and this was the predicament that this guy was experiencing. Locking and unlocking the car didn't help the situation.

It wasn't until hopping out and trying the remote unlock/lock routine did he identify the real problem.

"Honk Honk" after the key press. That's normal. But something was different this time. The car he was trying to start, door still open, wasn't reacting to the remote. The Ford Fusion was being pretty stubborn so he pressed the remote-lock again.

"Honk Honk". It happened again, but this time he found out where it came from in the garage. Seven cars over, a Toyota Corolla was honking and flashing it's lights. The mystery of the car that won't start was solved.

Hotels do not equal vacation.

This not my hotel.

First Morning

The first morning of consulting is like Christmas.

Except worse. Instead of waking up at 4 am excited about presents I have to be excited about opening another kind of present. My suitcase. Except instead of opening it under a tree I am in the bathroom of an airport. Changing into my biz cas clothes.

Christmas this year is going to be much better than first day of consulting.
