All Expenses Paid
Tomorrow begins my first official business trip. In past jobs, no assigned task ever took me farther than to FedEx or the nearest sandwich shop, but tomorrow I'm going to be dispatched to Pittsburgh.
Tell you the truth, I'm worried. I tend to dislike travel when it isn't self-directed, and there's nothing less independent than a business trip. My entire schedule appears to have been broken down by the hour, for a whole week. The days will be all businessy (obviously, and that's fine) but the nights threaten to involve networking. God help me, I'm an introvert writer who requires six hours a day to face into corners and brood - colleague-ridden hotel bars are so not my scene. It's a damn good thing I can act.
I'm bringing the laptop, since I can and can't imagine not. I hope to have a few hours free to use it.

HERE I AM LISTENING TO MUSIC ON THE RADIO AND SURFING BLOGS. I CAME ACROSS YOURS AND DECIDED TO LEAVE A COMMENT. THIS BLOG THING IS NEW TO ME AND IT IS FUN TO FIND OUT WHAT PEOPLE IN OTHER PLACES ARE DOING IN THEIR LIVES. I JUST GOT HOME FROM SHOPPING AND TURNED ON MY PC. IT IS GETTING COLD OUTSIDE AND IT IS VERY WINDY. ANYWAY, I HOPE YOUR BUSINESS TRIP GOES WELL. SAY A SILENT PRAYER AND GOD WILL PLACE A GUARDIAN ANGEL BY YOUR SIDE. I KNOW, MY LIFE HAS BEEN SPARED MORE THAN ONCE BECAUSE OF DEVINE INTERVENTION. I ONCE WALKED AWAY FROM A CAR ACCIDENT WITHOUT A SCRATCH WHERE THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE POLICEMAN ON THE SCENE LOOKED AT MY CAR THEN LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, "YOUR NOT SUPPOSSED TO BE ALIVE. YOU SHOULD BE DEAD". I LOOKED UP IN THE SKY AND SAID, "GOD HAS SENT A GUARDIAN ANGEL TO WATCH OVER ME". I'M ONLY A MORTAL HUMAN BUT SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE ME KNOWS THAT MY LIFE IS STILL UNFOLDING AND WHEN MY TIME IS READY FOR ME TO GO TO MY HEAVENLY HOME, THAT MY GUARDIAN ANGEL WILL BE MY ESCORT. HAVE A GREAT DAY AND HAVE A WONDERFUL TRIP!!
