The life of a consultant....
Notio: Were you out of town this weekend?
A: Well.... that's a pretty good story, actually. After waiting for a half hour to be picked up at the Asheville, NC airport for a Fri-Sun retreat I started to have anxiety about standing outside the wrong airport. Nope, that wasn't the problem. I was at the right place at the wrong time! Their retreat is NEXT weekend. Yikes. I was able to get home (call it a mutli-hundred, 13 hour, 6 airport lesson in attending to details). The sad part is that I'm booked next weekend and will now be helping [these] folks from a distance rather than in person. So, I was home this weekend, by surprise. Then was hit by allergies and overall exhaustion from a full day of nonstop travel.
Notio: That's highly bloggable.
Name withheld to protect the detail-challenged. Let this be a lesson to us all.
