I am a relaxi-taxi, he he he....
So check this out...
It took the Honda guys over an hour to get to my hotel once they got within 2 miles of it this morning. So we wasted a lot of test time. So they decided it would be better for me to rent a car and meet them outside the city so as to make our testing time much more efficient(sp?). So they dropped me off at Pearson Int'l, cuz if I rented a car there, it'd be easier to bring it back when I flew back home on Sat. So I go to Hertz and tell them I needed a car with a Neverlost system(that's the type of GPS Navi's they have on rentals), but they tell me that 1) I have to have a reservation, and 2) that they don't have any available. So one of the employees sees me in a bit of a bind and calls me over(her name was Simone), and says to call their reservation number and reserve one right now, for this time. So she gives me the number and I walk away and call from my cell phone, make the reservation and go back to the counter...literally like 2 minutes after I make the call. Simone's busy with another customer, so I have to go to some other dude. He asks for my res # and I give it to him. So he goes to the back and pulls out the keys to a midsize car with Neverlost! WTF? Like 5 minutes ago, they didn't have any, and then all of the sudden they did. Freakin dumb man...but that Simone chick totally helped me out. I tried to say thanks but there were too many people there. Some places have some messed up policies man...sheesh.
Anyway, I had a few drinks downstairs with my dinner tonight, so I'm a little buzzed. He he he, no companion on a business trip like Jack. =p I didn't want to eat dinner in my room again, it would have been the 3rd night in a row, so I decided to go outside the hotel to get something to eat. All the good restaurants were too far, and I got tired of walking, so I just checked out some local shopping spots I might wanna hit up before I head back and went back to the hotel. I chilled at the bar and ordered some food. I got to chattin w/ a few folk who were also out here either on vacation or on business. One was a loud dude NC guy, a couple from I dont' remember where, and an old guy, Patrick, from Ireland. There was one more guy, but he left early and I don't remember his name, he was a little crude, but whatever... Anyway, if you guys think I cuss too much, this guy Patrick, he makes me sound like St. Peter. He said the F word every other second man, it was crazy. He was funny as hell though. We were all laughing.
Well, that's all for tonight...
some thoughts that are currently in my head that I MAY or may NOT wanna talk about at a later date...
-Stupid Americans, I hate how some of us have this US Supremacy mindset...it's really embarrassing(sp?)
-Freakin Dodgers...win a damn game for me please
-Cable up here sucks, nothing to watch, esp no Smallville, and it always freezes and tiles
-everyone help Cicely get her Ipod
I hate waking up early, esp when I'm 3 hours ahead...
"Life and love, one cannot exist without the other..."
