Hows this for dedication to the site? I'm typing this in the business lounge of JFK airport, New York.
Yes, that's right, my company finally saw it fit to bestow some trust in me and send me off to organise a large training plan in White Plains, New York.
Of course, what this means is that I get to travel business class on BA, get put up in a first class hotel for a week and get to visit Manhattan and climb the Empire State Building after work (although I took the more sensible route rather than the King Kong way, which involves climbing the building).
The guys and gals at the office were great, they were all so friendly. Strangly, most of them were not 'American', but Indian, Russian and Chinese. Still, I managed to watch England lose the football (sorry, Soccer) at 2.30am this morning, and I guess I'll have to catch up with my sleep on the 7 hour flight home. If they show films like they did on the way here, though, I may be tempted to watch TV all night!
I can't believe the week has gone so fast though, I only found out I was going last thursday and already it's all over. Damn.
And before you fly back do a quick popquiz around your office as to what they all own consolewise.
enjoy your first-class life, even if it is temporary..
so what exactly did you do in America, other than get annoyed by the fact that ALL americans have rather large bottoms :-P
