Back In San Antone

Today is Tuesday and I am sitting in the lobby of the Marriott where I am staying this time. I couldn't do another week in the Comfort Inn, so I talked with my manager and he said that I could pick where I wanted to stay. It is so much better, but I still can't wait to get home on Friday. I miss Melissa, Bella and Kung-Fu.

I went and ate at the Tower in San Antonio last night. It is 750 feet up and the floor spins, it was a pretty cool experience. We had to wait 2 hours and 15 minutes to get sat, we were told that it would be an hour. We complained to the manager and he bought us a round of drinks. When we ordered the drinks I tried to get a Gin and Tonic, and the waiter told us that we could only have beers. It was a little irritating to say the least. It was fine-ish dining so it was very slow paced, everything took a long time. I got these crab cakes that were $28 and they were fucking small, I was disappointed because it was tiny.

I sampled some of the other food at my table and it was amazing. I shouldn't have gotten fancy and just stuck wit what I know. Here is a link to the place, I will post some pics later.

Matt came in town before I left, it was really good to see him. He has been out off shore for awhile. He is going to be home when I get home on Friday so I am excited for that. I am going to redouble my efforts in class and really knuckle down and start busting my ass. I am ready to get moving, I am not terrible but I am not as good as could/should be.

We had a trainer in the class today who was not our usual trainer and he started out pretty funny and nice enough and was being the stereotypical gay guy. When we started the hands on stuff the guy like flipped out and lost all sense of patience. Some samples of statements that he said today were, "this isn't rocket science people." If your a trainer you need to have patience and this gy did not at all. Maybe it was because he is a data trainer, but still, he needs to be a little more understanding. I hope that we have a chance to critique him because everyone was pissed and it will be a very scathing report.

I guess that is it for now. I am going to play some poker and hang out. I will post later this week.

Until later.
