Start: 1400 EDT

Sitting in the hotel. Just got here, and immediately place a call to... in keeping with the non-defined and ever-evolvivng convention, I'll say "O", even though it makes no sense whatsoever.

Had a little surprise on the way in.
Hotel receptionist: "What method of payment?"
B: "Uh... I thought the company had covered it."
Receptionist: "No sir, It hasn't been."
B: "Alright. I guess plastic." (what else?)

Now fortunately, I happen to know there is enough money in my bank account to cover it right now, until I can submit an expense report. Still, these kind of surprises make me nervous. I mean, if it hadn't just been payday last Friday I would've been royally fscked. Not even a warning. (File that under the much-used-of-late "Bitscape gets annoyed at his employer" category.)

Well, this room seems nice enough. It even has an ethernet connection. (Which I doubt I'll have the opportunity to use, but it's cool nonetheless.)

I suppose there will either be a phone call, or a car to pick me up here soon. I'm going to inspect the premises, and try to settle in a tad before my trip to the Atlanta division office.
