Baltimore

Training with Computer Associates has been interesting…a bit tedious but worth the time easily.

Got to see my friend Christina in Annapolis and that was nice, she showed me around downtown Annapolis and I found some awesome local micro-brew with a head that was like chocolate creame mouse. It was killer.

I’ll be headed back to the airport within the next hour.

Then I fly from Baltimore to Chicago.

Layover in Chicago and then direct to John Wayne with arrival at 10PM.

Got photos from Tim of the work he’s done to my car, it looks awesome. He rules.

Huzzah in Chicago early

It’s raining here like it was in San Fransico….

I think I saw an entire state covered in snow by just the reflection of the moonlight. It looked amazing. I tried to photograph it but I’m not sure if I got enough light into the camera, it sometimes has issues with low light levels.

In about an hour I get on yet another flight, this time taking me to Baltimore finally.

Now on Central time.

Sometimes it doesn’t matter what you do….

You’re just screwed.

So there is this friend of mine who had been lamenting a lack of dinner parties to go to this Xmas and has been through some really rough times lately that were no fault of her own.

Me, wanting to do something nice for this person ask her if she’d like to join me to my company dinner. Now before I asked her this I asked a friend of mine who was also going if he had any problems with her. I asked this because in talking to her in the past she seemed to indicate there might be some dislike going on between the two.

Me, not wating to create a bad situation ask the guy in question and he says hes got no problems with this person. Great I think!

That is until I offhandedly mention this to her. Then she goes into it with me saying I am treating her like a child and that she can handle herself in situations like that and that I don’t really know her.

She goes offline and just as I am about to leave the house for something messages me to say that she no longer wishes to go to the dinner party.

So now I had to go find someone else to bring along since I did bother to RSVP for two and not just myself. I managed to pull it off but I’m just annoyed now and the person who backed out in question is now demanding an apology within the next day and I just don’t respond well to ultimatims like that.

So yeah, now this person will probably give up on me as a friend, again, because of something nice I had been trying to do for them.

Oh my lord…you won’t believe this….

So apparently in Australia the government determined that there was such an overwhelming need and demand by its constituents to know where a public bathroom was and when it would be open that it created a website that maps out EVERY PUBLIC TOLIET IN AUSTRALIA.

You think I am making this up? Check it out:

I’ll be here still in shock over this.
