in flight

so i'm headed to phoenix today. after six months with this laptop, i've finally figured out how to get online at the airport without going crazy (and without getting booted off). this may do wonders for my ability to post regularly.

my company has this huge conference at a resort each year. this is my first time there, so i'm a bit nervous. i mean, i'm not the kind of minnesotan who has much in the way of resort wear. high-end resort wear....it's just not part of my wardrobe. so after plenty of stressing out and shopping (one of my most detested tasks) i found myself with four days of resort-wear. and my guess is, i'll get there and realize that i didn't need anything new at all and that people in phoenix wear black too.

it's weird, in only six months, i've gone from a consultant with flexible hours, minimal stress, a spotless house and 10,000 frequent flier miles to a corporate manager with ridiculous hours (because I include the hours that i wake up at night thinking about it), 90,000 frequent flier miles and a house under construction. i'm not sure if it equates to progress or not. but i guess i'll have to board the plane now.
