travel woes: i somehow got on the one and only ever delayed flight that southwest has ever had. we had to wait for 3 people flying in from mississippi (they were 45 minutes late). the flight was so short though and i got the whole exit row to myself, it didn't really bother me too much.
coolest thing i've seen: a new car key (for the dodge charger that is the rental i've been sharing). it just has a nub for a key- no actual metal. just stick it in the ignition and turn. pretty neat and i'd never seen one before. someone told me it has a computer chip in it. guess alot of cars in the future will have keys like this. must be bad if you lose it though...
thing i missed most today: a blazer. totally forgot to bring one. i thought since its so warm in florida that i wouldn't need one. guess i forgot that the warmer it gets outside, the colder the AC gets inside.
worst thing about the past few days: not being able to sleep. first i was next to the housekeeping station. this means that i got to hear all of the spanish chit chat in the morning. i also go to hear them filling their mop buckets up with water. what a joy that was. then the next morning i go to sleep and after 15 minutes laying in bed (just had fallen asleep) the front desk calls and says they need me to change rooms. so i had to pack up all of my stuff and wander through the halls in my pajamas while i moved to another room (that the AC had been set to 90 degrees in). finally go to lay in my new bed when i realize this room is next to the maintenance room. yet another joy. four hours of sleep later the maintenance man decides that hammering nails in the other side of the wall behind my bed was VERY crucial.
today i'm taking 3 tylenol pm's and putting earplugs in. if that doesn't help i dont know what i'm gonna do. currently i'm only conscious due to the massive quantities of coffee, mountain dew, and red bull that my $39 per diem can afford.
best thing about the past few days: i'm in fort myers. i love this place. really contemplating moving here in the future. it's so beautiful. don't know if i'll get a chance to go to the beach or not while i'm here- i try to sleep during the day and i have to share a rental car. but we'll see... the weather is certainly beachy.
thing i appreciate the most: not having to go through this night audit support by myself. luckily i know quite a large number of coworkers and odds are at least 1-2 of them are working the night shift just like i am. its nice to have someone to call and chat with at 4AM when you're insanely bored or totally lost and have a question and don't want to call and wake the lead up. its nice to have that kind of support out there- and they're always happy to help.
