I’m in Charlotte now for my training. It’s been an event-filled day to say the least.
I left Raleigh a little later than expected in an effort to get Kelly’s PC working before I walked out for three days. Mission accomplished, I hit the road going west. On the way, I took a break from driving by exploring the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer, checking out the impressive collection of rail cars (and automotive cars, too). At Charlotte at last, I worked with my coworker Wes to set up the classroom. Things went pretty smoothly there, too. Then I got a tour of my old house (more on that in the next post) and stopped over at my friend and former coworker, Mike B’s house.
Mike and his wife Kelly are the proud parents of a 14 month old son, Bryson. Bryson is a handsome young man who seems quite good natured. He didn’t seem to mind greeting a guest at 9:30 at night and kept his eyes open through most of my visit.
Mike and I used to work together well over 12 years ago. He had moved to Charlotte years ago but is now considering a move back to Raleigh. Some lucky local company is going to get a top-notch network adminstrator. I’ve taken it upon myself to find Mike a job here. He’s awesome.
We spent some time visiting and catching up before I could no longer go without dinner (yes, it was 10:30 PM already). I took a Jack-In-The-Box chicken salad for a tour around Charlotte and returned to my hotel around 11.
Its an early morning as I continue getting the classroom ready, but things will go smoothly. It will take a lot to top this kind of day, though. Wow.
