Meeting are bad, but NOLA is fun.

I know I've mentioned before that I'll be going to New Orleans (NOLA) for work, but to be quite honest, it just doesn't seem real. Until the confirmations have been made in my name, and until I have the plane tickets in my hand, I keep waiting for the bottom to drop out and for someone to inform me that I won't be attending anymore. But today at the end of the meeting, LCDR mentioned the impending trip... and that got me all excited again. I now know where I'll be staying: the Marriott on 555 Canal St. We'll check in on Monday and check out on Thursday.

So as mind-numbing and overwhelming as these meetings are, I'm still looking forward to the trip; I just concentrate on the travel aspect and not the 8 solid hours of capturing confusing conversation.
