For those of you who follow the personal aspect of this blog, I am in Chicago very busy re-training for my new career.
I had a pretty good flight in. The plane landed with out incident but it was not, in my opinion, a good deal. The plane was deffinitely one of those sardine specials. Tha airline batted 50% on the arrival of my luggage. At the airport, the luggage clercks assured me that they would deal with it quickly. The told me that they would figure it out as soon as they could get the baggage handler area to answer their phone??
Of course, what didn't arrive was the clothing I needed for my "business attire" events. The clercks at the airport told me that the issue would be resolved quickly, gave me a "baggage hotline number", and suggested I head to the hotel. They assured me that my luggage would arrive "in an hour or so". I arrived at the hotel about 7PM. By 9 PM, I had no word on my luggage.
The hotline was an automated tracing service... 5 calls and 5 times pushing touchtone keys to talk to a human finally led me to resign on seeing my luggage. I gave up and head to bed.
Eventually things did work out for the better. Just as I dozed off, the phone rang. My clothing got to the hotel about 2 AM. Since then it has been packed full days of class and review. I am busy but alive for those of you who care.
The best news of the week came on Wednesday. AON, my current employer, is now the largest insurance brokerage in the country... :)
Well, all I am off to hit the books. Hope you are all well.
