The only thing bad about travel is time changes.... My brain thinks it's 7:30, it's only 4:30, and I'm up...
The cruise was wild and crazy, but fun! The upper administration can really put away the alcohol! I didn't try to keep up with them, but I drank enough that my liver hurts.
The company had to be able to write this trip (for 120 people) off, so we had a mandatory meeting on the 2nd day. It started out with the CEO telling us how he and 3 buddies decided to start the company. It was on a trip, and during that 4 day trip of drunken debauchery, they watched Caddyshack 14 times. Sooooo - the rest of the meeting was a screening of Caddyshack along with drinks!
One of the best things about the trip was getting to know people on a more personal level. I spent quite a bit of time talking with my regional manager's (he's my direct boss) wife. She informed me that I'm his favorite pharmacy manager, and then invited us over for dinner, and for Christmas Eve!
In this company, getting in the "inner circle" is how to get promoted.... I think I may be moving up in the world sooner rather than later....
The flight home ended with about half an hour of "severe" turbulence. Normally, flying doesn't bother me one bit, but that freaked me out. Glad to be home. Alive.
I missed all of you!
