So, here I am in Stamford. I had to come here for a week of training for my new job. Luckily, my new company hired four other people I know, so we all came up here together. I’m not much for travel to begin with, let alone having to travel alone, so that worked out rather well for me. We left yesterday after lunch and we were making excellent time until we hit some construction around Allentown. That put us back almost an hour. Then, of course, there was a bunch of traffic near New York City. That wouldn’t have been so bad, had we not just sat in traffic. But, we finally made it here around 8pm. The three others wanted to go out to eat, but I opted to stay in and order room service. All I wanted to do was hook up my computer and check my email. So, I got all hooked up, only to find there was a charge for it. Since it was so late, I decided to wait till today. Then, I found out this morning, that my company is also paying for our internet access during our stay here. So, I think they are A-OK and I will be taking them up on that offer the rest of my stay.
The hotel I’m staying in is the nicest place I’ve ever stayed in. If I ever have to come back here when Jake’s not in school, I’ll definitely bring him and Brian with me. Brian’s sister doesn’t live too far from here and we’re really close to New York City, so that’s another option for stuff to do.
I can’t believe it’s only Monday, though. I feel like I’ve been here for two weeks already. Today actually went pretty fast, but there’s still four more days to go (well, OK, hopefully more like 3 1/2, but still).
