Is it just a coincidence or is this an apology for last week? My hotel has me in a corner suite with windows that wrap around the room and overlook the beautiful Chicago skyline! Last week the concierge gave me a rough time and I complained to management: “Is this the way you treat a loyal customer?!?” I’d like to think this gorgeous view is an apology. If that is the case, I ACCEPT!

Gosh, it’s been a rough couple of days. All day meetings Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Tomorrow is catch up day. This afternoon I really started to feel the stress and I had a hard time keeping my eyes focused. All I wanted to do was crawl into bed. Finally, one of the EMG members walked in carrying bags of candy and placed one on each table. I grabbed a handful: butterfingers, snickers, and goetz caramels. Mmmmmm, it tasted so good and the sugar gave me the kick I needed. The meeting ended at 5:30 but I didn’t leave the office until 7:45. The candy is still in my stomach and so I decided not to order room service. Besides, it is too late to eat dinner.
