Diagnosis: Confirmed Business Traveller

Well, if there was ever any doubt, I am now a confirmed business traveler.
Wednesday: DC, NY, VA
4:30am Washington, DC
9:00am New York, Laguardia
9:30am New York, 5th Avenue (Cerami NY office)
5:15pm New York, Laguardia
9:30pm STILL AT LAGUARDIA, stupid rain delays.
10:00pm Leave NY
11:30pm Arrive in Charlottesville, VA
12:30pm Check into Hotel

Thursday: VA
That was my schedule Wednesday. Unfortunately, the vibration testing I did Thursday during the day at the University of Virginia was in conclusive. I had to get the hotel for another day and stay for testing Friday.

Friday: VA, DC
5:30am wake up
6:30 “scub-in” and set up testing equipment in Operating Room
10:30 tear down equipment in Operating Room
11:30 leave for Charlottesville airport.
1:10 leave airport for Philadelphia.
-3 hour layover-
5:30 depart Philadelphia for DC
6:50 arrive back home in DC

Whew, hopefully all the rest of the stuff goes smoothly. I’m writing this from the airport in Charlottesville, which is courteous enough to have free wireless. The testing was interesting. I sat in the operating room on both a brain tumor surgery (Thur.) and an aneurism surgery(Friday). It was like a real life version of that Discovery or TLC show where they show the surgery right in front of you. The only difference was that while there were screens everywhere showing what was going on, there was also a patient and surgeon laying/standing 5 feet from me. It was intense, and I’m glad I’m not to squeamish, otherwise this would have been IMPOSSIBLE.

I have to go to catch my flight, I’ll post more including maybe a few photos later.

Peace.
