Daily Grin October 23
Hey there.... long time, no see! My trip was alright and I got home safely last night. I will somehow refrain from telling you that I just flew in yesterday... and boy, are my arms tired! lol Or... maybe I won't! lol
I have one last travel related grin for you today which in no way reflects my own hotel experience this trip. The hotel we stayed in was great. Free hot breakfast in the morning, and wine/beer/cocktails with snacks after work. I experienced biscuits and gravy for the first time. Y'all have white gravy... what's up with that?? Tasty stuff though, and about the most tender biscuits I have ever enjoyed.
We got through the training in record time and went for lunch with our training hosts at the Macaroni Grill. We don't have those here and I highly recommend the experience. We headed to the airport early and spent a lot of time waiting around for our plane and making fun of the airline worker with the bad hair who looks a bit like Al Gore. We also witnessed an odd phenomenon. There was a trashcan near one of the departure gates. For some very strange reason, men seemed to congregate around this trash can. They'd lean their laptop cases against the trashcan and just stand there, waiting for their flight to be called. We witnessed this odd behaviour with two separate flights, two sets of passengers. We determined that someone must have sprayed female pheromones on the trashcan. Women seemed quite disinterested in the trashcan. hmmm... odd.
Today's travel tip: Do NOT drink a grande coffee at Starbucks prior to getting on an aircraft. This is especially important if you do not plan to use the tiny closet they call a toilet on the plane. Please note: if you DO drink a grande coffee at Starbucks prior to getting on the airplane, don't plan to use the first washroom you see at the airport. The first washroom you see will have a line of people waiting to use the facilities. The second restroom will be closed for cleaning and the third ladies room will be "almost" too far!! WHEW!
It's good to be back, and I'm happy to be me!!! J

Top Signs You're At A Bad Motel
The "complimentary" paper tells you that President Kennedy has died.
The mint on the pillow starts moving when you come close to it.
There is still some stuff that they put around crime scenes that is yellow
The pictures are not placed for decoration but to cover up recent bullet holes.
You have to wait until the guy next door is done with the towel so you can use it.
There's a chalk outline in the bed when you pull back the covers.
The desk clerk has to move the body in order to get some ice for you.
The Only TV station you can get is a porno channel with Roseanne on it.
The wake up call comes courtesy of police helicopter.
