Just Chillin'

The client I had scheduled for today called yesterday and canceled. They were having computer problems with the transition to the new system. I offered to come anyway and assist them to trouble shoot, but they were adamant they wanted to reschedule. I am in the middle of Illinois staying in Peoria. The plan had been to return from Taylorville, Illinois to Peoria (about a 1 1/2 hour drive), spend the night, see the Peoria client on Wednesday then drive 3 hours back to Chicago for the Thursday client.

I gave some thought to trying to move the Thursday client to Wednesday and changing my flight, but the logistics would not work, plus I could have ended up with both hotel and flight penalities. So I have had a day off in Illinois.

I slept in and puttered around in the hotel room. Drank hot tea and worked my e-mail. I checked out about 11:30 and made the 3 hour drive back to Chicago. Since I had the time and no deadlines I went to a movie. I saw 'Social Network' about the Facebook founder. It was great and I had wonderful popcorn.

I'm now watching the new Law and Order (Los Angeles) and catching up on reports. It has been a relaxing day.
