Lord help me, I’m just not that bright
This trip is turning into all kinds of fun. Last night’s flight was SOOOO long. We hit all sorts of head winds getting here so it took an extra 30-40 minutes to get here. Blechy. Then we sat on the runway for a little bit in Indiana (since we were late they had given away our gate??). But what I really wanted to know…was how many flights did they have arriving last night around midnight that they didn’t have any gates? Whatevs, once I finally got off the plane and got my car and got to the hotel it was late (like 1:30ish). I was supposed to be at the facility at 8AM this morning. I think I woke up around 8:30ish and made it here around 9:30. Oops. Whatever, the guy I was meeting wasn’t even here (hell…he wasn’t even in the state at that point) yet…so no biggie.
However, I’m not really a fan of the controls engineer here. Jesus! The first thing he does is come in and say, “Oh you work for Philip Morris? Bang!” (he proceeded to make the gun symbol with his thumb and pointer finger, and then pretended to shoot me…). Um ok…I’ve never even met this man before in my life. I don’t know about you…but I prefer to know a person at least 5 minutes before I pretend to kill them (as suggested by Miss Manners)…but maybe that’s just me? Then he’s talking all about how he’s only been doing this for 6 years or so because before that he spent 6 years in drugs and another 12? in prison. He meant he worked for the pharma industry and then designed security systems for a jail. I hate when people try to be funny like that. It’s not funny. It’s lame. Then, he was talking all about how he had to get naked with a really gorgeous 20-something year old…with his wife watching (she was a goddamn nurse!) and he was trying hard not to get excited. Ugh. I hate old men. They’re gross and creepy and disgusting. I’m so glad I’ll never be one.
I’m also feeling slightly guilty. Apparently this company had to hire another person to assist us with our work…and I feel awful b/c I’m not allowed to tell them we’re probably going to be cancelling our contract. Ugh. (However, the new hire is REALLY cute…as is the one electrician). Apparently they raise them good in Indiana J. So at least I’ll have something good to look at while I’m here (instead of that disgusting old man).
I had a lovely time at H’s baptism (and the outfit actually fit him!) and everyone liked his little knitted outfit (or at least they pretended to…) so that was happy. I will eventually post fun pictures, however, I’m a moron. I forgot to bring my camera cord with me to Indiana so I have no way of getting the pictures from my camera to my computer. Therefore, I can’t put them on until I get back to my mom and dad’s house. But, wait till you see how absolutely adorable H is. He was all smiles and giggles all day and so super cute. I have the best god-son ever (well…I guess he’s tied with J’s god-son). You know you’re all jealous of us.
*Random side note: they ordered lunch for us today from The Olive Garden…they had spaghetti logs! (ok only one…but still…I had a spaghetti log! Just like home haha).
