Long distance, I'm in the process of getting my utilities at my new place switched over from the landlord. The amount of money I'm going to be paying out in deposits is colossal. But, I think I have everything but phone switched over.

My company has a training course I need to take sometime in the next three months. There are locations all over the country. The first one in January is in Mexico City. Mmm, that would be interesting. I wonder if it's only in Spanish. I don't think my Spanish is good enough for a class in wireless network switching.

I'm going to be glad to be home again. Atlanta traffic...sheesh. And maybe snow tomorrow morning.

how's your credit? when you have your electricity turned on, you can have them pull a credit report, and you won't have to pay as much of a deposit. also, if you've used TECO or whatever it is before, you can complain to them & have the deposit waived.

Unfortunately, with my business going down the tubes this year, my credit isn't good enough to waive the deposit.

It was actually kind of funny. The lady told me she could check, it would be free, and all she would get back would be a yes or no. So I said okay and she goes, all in one word, "Okay-here-it-goes-um-no."

any in Austin? :) I've even got spare rooms if you want to stay at a home rather than a full service hotel (yeah I know - what am I thinking?)

Heh, the martini selection alone... ;)

I didn't see any in Texas, which is kinda weird, isn't it? A few in California, then Long Island, Chicago, Toronto, Atlanta, that sort of thing. Mexico City in January sounds nice, though, doesn't it?

I bet you're loving Austin this time of year. Someone in the office here just came back from Boston and is still trying to thaw out.

It is weird - call them up and yell at them about it - it must be a flaw in the system that should be fixed. I am loving Austin - it's going to be 73 today and it's sunny out my back windows reflecting off my swimming pool.

Of course having just had my gall bladder out, having the flu this past week, a cat go into kidney failure and another with kidney stones - the past 5 weeks have sucked - but that's not Austin's fault.
