Robert Plant didn't write a song about going to New Jersey because it is the armpit of America. I hope I didn't offend anyone with that comment but. . . well, it's true. I hear there are nice places in Jersey. Unfortunately, I've never seen them. I always fly in, take a car to either a pharmaceutical company or to a toilet factory, meet for two days, and fly out. Almost all of my interactions in NJ take place in the dark. Truthfully, I have no idea what New Jersey is like.
I do know, however, that I'm flying into Newark on Tuesday afternoon for a Wednesday morning meeting. I'll be safe and sound, back in Texas, by 10 p.m., less than 36 hours after I leave home.
Positive things about this trip:
1. I'm adding another 2,000+ points to my Continental account. Go me. Maybe next time we take a trip, I'll have enough points to buy our airline tickets. 2. I'll have at least 8 hours in the plane to read. I'm in the middle of a new series that I'm loving. Hopefully, 8 hours in a plane and a night alone in the hotel will be enough time to finish at least 2 of the 3 books. 3. I only have to be in the office two days next week. It's like a 5-day weekend, except that I'm working 2 of those 5 days. Wait - that's not positive...
Note - the toilet factory comment was NOT a joke. Our NJ office is in a renovated toilet factory. Seriously.
