Today I was tasked with riding around with my dad and going to see customers. I do not mind the seeing customers part of the equation – but, riding around with my dad usually equals riding shotgun to a VERY slow driver and being exposed to extreme quantities of the following: NPR (not the good kind that plays music I like), Bloomberg for Sirius and the most god awful 1950s country music ever. All three of those things really grate on my nerves.
Knowing how much the aforementioned items get to me – Danny bought me these for such occasions:
Words cannot express how much more pleasant this made the first part of my trip. I spent the entire first two hours in the car engrossed in Friday Night Lights episodes that I never got around to watching. It wasn’t so bad.
And then the battery on the netbook died. I, of course, had forgotten to grab the extra one and quickly my mood turned into this…
When Danny gets sent on work related trips he goes to places like Santa Barbara. My job is much different. When I am taken out of the office I wind up in places like this…
…that are named things like Turkey, NC (I even took a picture of the sign to prove it).
Thankfully, my day ended around 5:30pm when we arrived back in Wilmington. I am so glad that the weekend is here! No more work trips for me for awhile please!
