Quickie
This is going to be a quick one as this hotel has serious speed issues with their internet connection. I am exhausted after a day of hob-nobbing with clients and having to race as fast as my FMB's would carry me through Kings Cross station this morning. Yes, NML almost but didn't, miss her train. I did leave on time but I got caught in delays on the tube and I couldn't believe it when I was forced to have to run to make the train. God knows how many peoples toes I destroyed as I ran them over with the case, but at least I made the poxy train!
Thought it was going to be a day of fringe benefits because as we walked into the building to meet our clients, lots of eye-candy came walking out. Now there is no harm in having a look before anyone starts jumping on my case about The Contender (and we're not boyfriend and girlfriend anyway) but our excitement was short-lived because all of the eye-candy seemed to vacate the building at that moment.
I managed to avoid having any major cock-ups, except for a couple of things............
They use a laser pen to run across your badge so they can note who you were and probably collect data on me, but hardly anybody was using them. I was speaking to a guy when I saw a mans hand moving towards my left breast and promptly paniced and ducked out of the way. It was only when I noticed them all looking at the pen with an odd look that I realised what he was trying to do and flushed with embarassment.
NML: Sorry. I thought you were going for my chest.
Pen Man: I wasn't but it's okay. (Then he gives me a saucy wink) Normally I would've been perving though!
NML: Riiiiigggggggght. OK! (Laughing nervously and then made my rapid escape)
I had a great meeting with another client and as we shook hands to say goodbye, I nearly ripped the skin off his hand with a jab with my fingernail. Cue lots of embarassed apologies but luckily he saw the funny side of me breaking his skin..........
I'm off to have a deep bath and chill out until dinner. If one more f*cking person asks me about the internet, I will bloody scream, so I'm legging it now!

Ahhhhhh, business trips. I used to love them but after having traveled day after day after day I can't say I miss them. Still, it's nice to get out of town on occasion and have all your meals paid for!
Have a great trip, and sorry you weren't visiting Boston instead of DC. (But if you ever do, let me know and I'll buy you a drink!)
Oh, btw, keep your fingers crossed for me: date #2 with Adam is Friday night!!!!
You'll have to post your thoughts about D.C. once you get back. I love that city ... many a great night there, especially in Georgetown.
And kudos to you for looking at other "eye candy". You're only looking at the menu, you're not ordering!
Nothing wrong with looking!
Hey NML :) Of course I have to take time from my little trip to visit your blog and wave hello from Seattle! I think it's perfectly fine to look at the menu so long as you don't order!
Oh, and uh... you've got email.
i think i would have made the same mistake with the pen guy... but not have been as slick as you in laughing my way out of it!
I think I'm sooo over the whole business trip thing, although my mind could be changed if my co start stending me to the US or the Carribean..... I will defintely hold you to that offer when I get to Boston. And of course I have my fingers, toes, hair and everything else crossed for you. Work it girl on your date. I'm seeing The Contender on Saturday! x
Cincy - Hello! I will probably be posting from DC so watch out. I went to Georgetown last year and it's so beautiful and uber cool. My friend lives about 40 minutes from DC (can never remember where she lives) but I intend to make her drag me to a few spots. Of course NML can look and not touch!
Broom - Damn straight!
DD - I'm not ordering anything off the menu. My hands are full at the moment and even with my moments of thinking madness, I need to give The Contender and I a chance.
You got mail .........
Wyn - It was quite funny thinking that guys were trying to cop a feel. Just giggle nervously and skidaddle. Works for me everytime!
