What is it about this place? It generally feels like home these days. The drive from Harrisburg (I ended up flying into MDT instead of SCE because a delay in SAV for the original flight to CLT left me with very few options... the girl offered me: definitely get stuck in CLT for the night if you stick with the original flights, stay on USAir and get to SCE tomorrow at 1:40 PM, switch to United and get to SCE tomorrow at 10:30 am... um, no... so as a last thought, I suggested we try other airports and let me rent a car and drive in... thank goodness, that was pretty easy... and here I am... back in SCE via SAV, CLT, MDT, and Hertz) felt comfortable and familiar. It was home-ish. I used to make it periodically... I took the GRE in Harrisburg about 2001, flew in & out of MDT several times between 2000 and 2005, visited friends & family just beyond Harrisburg a couple times, etc. The only difference tonight? It was dark and I missed seeing the mini statuette of liberty as well as the most excellent hills/valley climbing the mountain to get into the State College area. One thing that was the exact same as it has been since we first moved here? The road construction. Ugh.
Couple of other interesting things tonight:
1) I can see my breath here. I'm glad I moved away from that stupid mess, but it's fun to see it periodically.
2) I'm back in my SAME room at the HGI. Does this room have my name on it or what? I was here a few weeks ago. Yes, right here. And I do believe it's been the same room I was in during some of my other most memorable visits to SCE. Some fun. Some not freakin' fun at all. There was one about a year ago that sucked... when I felt useless and ready to move on. One night in the hotel... especially not fun.
Anyway, back to work tomorrow. In an office. Yay? Yes, I think yay.
