The countdown to Belgium grows close and I grow more frantic. Trying to plan for two trips back to back in completely different parts of the world is a little stressful, but I know in the end it will be fun.

The trip is 4426 miles one way (8852 round trip) non-stop. Around a 8.5 hour flight from what I've been told. So I am...

Yay, last night before I disappear from my job for two weeks (and it is only an eight hour night). I have so much crap to take care of before I leave for both trips though. Will be a very busy Eeek this weekend, but I think I can suffer through.

Life has an interesting way of giving you things to do when you aren't sleeping. Take me for example, not sleeping well? Great Darren you can work a 20 hour shift. I don't mind too much though. It gives me something to do with my time (that and there is a really cool special on CNN about finding life in the solar system). Oh yeah,...

So I broke down and bought a laptop. Since I already have a desktop for games, a linux server for other stuff, I decided to give a Mac a try. So far I am liking it though it will take a long time to get used to only having one mouse button.

Tomorrow I start my four days of work. I am so thankful that...

Yay! The last freaking day of training is finally here. I have a test this morning then I get to fly out. I hate the fact that I am leaving here at 12:30pm and don't land in Atlanta until 8:30pm. It is only a five hour flight, but I end up losing eight hours. I hate time zones.

We went out for a "class" dinner...

Day four of class and I am now looking for a noose to slide oh so gently around my neck.

Went to San Fran last night and wandered around Pier 39 to do the touristy thing. Was okay, but I think the company I was in killed the evening. I am still having a problem grasping the concept that someone actually married the guy I...

Day three of class is starting and the more I see the product the more I am getting pissed off that my stupid company decided to support it. I am going to complain, but I know that it won't do any good.

I am hopefully heading out to San Fran tonight to get some alcohol into my system. Will report back as to the success...

Whee! I was able to snag a laptop from someone I'm travelling with so I will be updating throughout the week.

I ended up going out to an Indian place for dinner last night. It was the first time I had ever tried lamb curry. It was pretty good, but I still prefer chicken.

Training is extremely boring so far. The afternoon for yesterday was...

So tonight wasn't nearly as fun as I had hoped. I got out to the SGAtl 2year, but it wasn't nearly as early as I had hoped. By the time I got there...well let's just say I wasn't nearly drunk enough to join in on the fun.

I did however get to meet Loe (who is much cuter in person than her pictures would lead...

So two point five days left until I am winging my way to Sunnyvale, California for a week. It is for a class, but from what I understand there will be plenty of time to head out to SanFran for fun and excitement. It is going to be strange. Between now and the end of August I only have four real days of work. Not...
