phew...

TIRED!

it's been a long couple of days. After working pretty late Tuesday night and packing stuff up, I got up EARLY Wednesday morning (6:15, yuck) so I could pack the car and head to Stamford to meet with a recruiter at Excel Partners. I hit the road about 7:30 and arrived around 8:20 - talk about long commute! At least there wasn't a whole lot of traffic!

After meeting with the recruiter, I searched for Panera using my handy dandy GPS. Closest Panera? Port Chester, NY, about 7 minutes away.

I found the Panera but then saw a gas station and decided to fill up first. Good thing I did - when I left Panera, it would have been hell to try to get back to the gas station with all the traffic!

I dragged half of my car into Panera so I could change into a pair of jeans and a comfy sweatshirt - my usual attire of choice (if you didn't know that by now, you don't know me at all!)

Working at Panera was AWESOME. This was the slowest Panera I have ever been to - no one was in there using the wi-fi connection...which meant I had it ALL TO MYSELF! SWEET! I'm a nerd - I was so excited about having the Internet work quickly at Panera! I got a bit of work done and hit the road at about 1pm to head to VA.

6.5 hours later, I've hit VA. Only one small bit of traffic along the way due to construction, otherwise it was smooth sailing through NY, NJ, PA, MD, WV and VA.

since then, it's been busy! the phone has been ringing, people in and out, little brother driving everyone up the wall. to top it off, the A/C froze today, and will not be fixed until sometime this week...yikes.

hopefully things will calm down and the weather will cool down just a bit.
