...
so i'm in san francisco on a business trip, just got in about 2 hours ago to my hotel. usually, i HATE coming to SF because it's nasty driving, traffic, parking, and it's always for work and i never have enough time to breathe. usually i will check in the night before the walk through then check out the morning of the last day so i drive home after a long visit, usually in horrible traffic for about 3-4 hours to get home.
i decided this trip would be different!
i made sure to work hard and get my time-sensitive work done late last night so i could drive up in the afternoon when there's less traffic. besides the accident on the freeway (no fatalities, thank goodness), it was decent. got to the hotel garage without incident (yay!) and here's where it starts getting fun :D
they upgraded me to a junior suite for free! i had gotten like one step up from the crammed tiny room, only because i need some space to work, but when i got into my room, IT'S HUGE!!! so here are some pics (click on them for the larger view):
me with my feet on the bed so you can see how huge the open space in the room is! i'm gonna use it to work out in a few minutes... (in hommage to my other pic in the previous blog, too :P)
view from the door of the room
the other corner of the room left of the desk, and there's the bathroom
and THIS is the view from one of my two windows, i kid not! how awesome is that???
top it off, i've been travelling a lot this year and it's been stressing me out. this visit is HUGE to my company, and luckily my work is in the hotel that i'm staying in, so no more driving in the city until i have to leave. because it's such a time crunch and big place, and it's not exactly somewhere i can just drive back to if i am writing the report and realize i missed some info, my boss OK'ed me to stay the last night after the walk through, meaning if i work really hard on the report and know it's good, i might be able to do something fun and walk around friday morning before i check out. basically the huge room will actually be enjoyed this trip, something i really don't get to do often.
hopefully this is just a sign of things to come. i really needed to catch a break :)
wish me luck over the next few days, this walk through is gonna be intense. at least i have a nice place to crash when it's over!
