I am a hood ornament...
Good news
Well, good news? or bad news? I got a call from Charles today(cic's dentist, or almost dentist friend) and he told me he talked to the head of their deptartment about my x-rays and apparently, I didn't have enough whatever to qualify as a board. Meaning, I am no longer gonna get free dental work...dangit. But I feel totally bad, cuz he has to work on this other person he had in mind, but his is way worse, so it'll be a much harder procedure. So I guess in a way, it's more bad news than good. And the worst news is that I'm gonna have to go to the dentist to get this taken care of now. Shucks...
The drive
Lots of things go through your mind when you're sitting in an all-day drive w/ people who do not speak your language nor you theres. So you just ponder...about life, about God, and about the things you see around you. We didn't see the sun today until 6:15PM, it was totally cloudy all day. We also passed by Joe Jumpoff Creek somwhere on the 5 in Oregon Country...kinda freaky as to why they probably named it that. It's like that Ravine that got named after the schoolteacher chick in Back to the Future III, she was supposed to die in the ravine, but Doc and Marty changed that by saving her. There are a lot of trees around here, and pretty much all you can see. Oh yeah, we made this one pitstop and they had an Adult Video Store and Arcade. Arcade? Sweet! We ddin't get to go check it out though, so pooh on that. The hotel I stayed at in Seattle was much nicer than the other hotels I've stayed at on my other business trips, which is mainly the Holiday Inn in Totowa, NJ and some other places. But the Courtyard by Marriott was nice man. Free internet access, well actually, the room was about 170 a night so not really free...but it's on my company anyway, so I don't really care. My lap gets pretty hot from my stupid laptop sitting on it all day long, so I wonder if I've done any damage...let's hope not. Ramble ramble ramble...thank God for XM radio.
It's been okay so far, not as mind-numbing as I make it out to be. There's two cars, and sometimes, one of the english speaking dudes is in the car w/ me. One's from Holland and the other is from Ohio. I've talked to the Holland one more just cuz we've been in the car longer at some points, but the other guy is cool too. He's freakin Hulk Hogan man, I swear. He's pretty beefy, has a shaved head w/ that wrestler goatee and he wears a tanktop, TUCKED IN!!!! HA HA HA. He even has that Hulk Hogan type voice...it's pretty hilarious. But like I said, he's cool. We all laugh a lot because of our communication barriers w/ the other guys. Kinda makes me want to pursue japanese.
Whew, what another long day...
