in fort lauderdale now. been here for about 3 days and today was my first day back at *real* work. go figure!!! thank goodness it's a nice day today. it rained all day yesterday.

anyway -- yesterday was the big meeting with upper management trying to sort out the so-called demise of my work group. effective in the new year -- my job as it is will no longer exist. i still have a job though -- but no more traveling from station-to-station. anyway -- our last assignment will be the opening of the boston station and they are talking of having us there for up to 8 weeks so i guess there isn't any real rush to figure out where to go. i expressed interest in the corporate offices and they made mention of possible openings in human resources/people and maybe even in training. we'll see.

today i get off around 3pm -- i don't know what i should do for the rest of the day. the hotel got on my nerves because they put a $437++ hold on my check card. not cute. it'll work out in a couple of days supposedly. we'll see about that too.
