I simply wonder when I'm going to get back.
A lot of things that I've seen and heard are on my mind concerning the future of the nation, if not at least my job.
Tomorrow I head back home trying to understand more of this world around me.

Day 2 of Charlotte, NC
I've yet to find someone from the Carolinas who has a Carolinean accent.
I woke up this morning, and headed across the street to the conference room for our Day 1 training. The central air was running too hard. Also after going through that training case, I felt too much sympathy towards the fake family presented in the training.
For lunch, I went to the Kangaroo Express across the street to pick up a snack. Everything was cheaper there - a 14 oz Slush cost $1.20 and a 32 oz Slush cost $1.50. Cigarettes were $5 a box and for the brand name ones too.
I'm looking to check out the city either tomorrow or the day after if plans go well. Also, I'm looking forward to checking out the regional office to see what kind of pearls of wisdom we can learn there too. The weather's nice, and it hasn't rained yet. All is good for now.

Day 1 of being in Charlotte, NC
It's been a while since I was on a plane to somewhere, and I didn't have anything on my agenda. Getting out of the office was a refreshing change of pace, even though it's only been the first day.
The airport was fun. Instead of getting X-rayed, I let them pat me down and it wasn't as titilating as I thought it'd be.
The flight involved gorging myself on bags of Popcorners, which apparently is a new way of making popcorn, but into chip form. There was a Rick James documentary on VH1 and MTV Countdown of the most expensive Cribs ever. I didn't know that Richard Branson had his own private island. There were a lot of good ideas to decorate a house, but the Van Gogh paintings are a bit out of my budget.
There are huge bugs in North Carolina.
This room is awesome. If only I could get the normal internet working, then we'd be back in business. The lights are kinda dim though.
We're sorta in the middle of nowhere. It's an office park-like community, where there are schools, condos, businesses and stuff all around. It's like the area in Wellington, except without buses.
The weather is really nice too, but I hear it's gonna rain in the coming days. There's also a tornado warning but I don't think it'll touch down here.
There are only a couple hours left before hitting the sack. Time to make use of the fitness center, and then crash hard.
