This week I am in Atlanta, well really just one full day and that was yesterday. I had a training class at the REDI Center with the Construction Foreman for CSX. It went really well and there were about 52 people in the meeting room. Some were managers, but they all had a genuine interest in the new software.
When I got here I had rented a car because it is a little ways from the airport and about 5 miles away from the airport the car died. Transmission issues was on the dashboard. So the good news is that it was a Chrysler 200, which is what kind of car I almost got instead of my Dart! The bad news was that I was sitting on the side of the interstate in Atlanta in a broken down car in the pitch black of 5PM. Luckily my coworker was driving up and had not yet passed me. I only had to wait about an hour and he was there with his wife to save the day!
I knew way more people in this class then I had thought I would which was nice and seeing some of them was very nice. These people who I get to interact with are pretty nice. I am very lucky to not only enjoy what I do, but get to work and interact with great folks.
Well, I am off to the airport now and then Saturday I leave for another adventure – Beckley, West Virginia!
