Tammi's World

Travelin' with Tammi

Well, I made it. And my ear is fine, thank goodness. But ohhhh what a trip. Let me show you an insiders view of Travelin' with Tammi.......

I should start out reminding you that I'm still taking the Sudafed. Yeah, remember.....edgy. That'll come in handy during my tale.

Anyway - I went into the office in the morning. My flight wasn't until a little after 2:00 and I had a shit load of stuff to get done FOR this trip. Buried doesn't begin to cover it.

So, first thing? Phone will NOT stop ringing. Now I have no problem not answering my phone. I'll let it go to voicemail and take care of stuff later. But the ringing.....it kept distracting me.

Then - computer problems. The one program I have to use is suddenly corrupted on my laptop. Not good. Not good at all.

AND we are all just swamped. Everyone doing the work of 2 or 3. So no one has time to help me. To say I was frustrated would be a mild way to put it.

I could feel my blood pressure rising. I kept reminding myself it was just the Sudafed that made me feel so crazy. It seemed to work for me today - I don't know what the hell I'll tell myself when I'm off the stuff.

ANYWAY...finally got everything finished and printed. Only 30 minutes past when I wanted to leave for the airport. Ok, it's fine. It's all fine.

Driving to the airport I suddenly realized this trip is so short I can actually park in the garage. WooHoo!! No schleppin' my crap back and forth on the train. :-)

:-( The garage was full. Hell the extended parking lot was full. I had to park in the extended extended parking. Then take a bus to catch the train to get to the terminal. Shit.

So I'm on the train and realize I'm one of 2 women. Huh. As I stood there, balancing my purse, laptop, suitcase and well, myself I suddenly felt like some damned pole dancer in a really cheap club. Not that I know how that feels, I'm just sayin' if I did know I'm sure that's how I felt. Oh, never mind.....

Security? Let's not even go there......

The flight itself was fine. Like I said, I didn't have any real issues with my ear at all. Well, until I tried to get off the plane. I couldn't walk. It was the worst case of vertigo I've ever had. Holy Shit.

I get to my room and at least that's ok. Well, except the TV doesn't work but I had so much work to do, I didn't even care.

This morning? Breakfast in the room, final sweep of the paper work, check a few blogs and it's off to the races.

This isn't a "friendly" visit, by any stretch of the imagination so I've got that going for me. This afternoon, I'll be waiting for my Rep to finish his business and then it's another mad dash to the airport so I can catch a 5 something flight. Tonite? Home in The Belfry.

Yeah, pretty damned glamorous isn't it? That's me - Walkin' on the Wild Side.
