I’m going back out on the road again. I just got my first travel assignment from the new job: I’ll be observing/assisting in a training for a new client in Dallas next week. I’ll fly in Tuesday afternoon, train Wednesday and Thursday, and fly back home Thursday night.

It’ll be just like old times, only I’ll be on the road for just three days rather than five. And the software I’m training on actually works. And the company I work for isn’t an empire, let alone evil. And I’m getting paid a decent salary. And my supervisors don’t have their heads firmly planted in their colons. But aside from all that, it’ll be just like old times.

I think I see dinner at Pappadeaux in my future. Do any of you Dallas-area Lunchroom readers (Special K, I’m looking at you) want to meet up while I’m out there?
