This just doesn't happen every day.

We have a backlog of customers that need onsite support at work. We finally had a meeting to divvy up the workload and get it all covered. Stacks of folders needing to be claimed... the team going through them one by one, county by county, all across the U.S.

Most customer visits are 2-3 days... it's pretty easy to piggyback a weekend visit if you happen to have friends nearby. These aren't scheduled yet, but sometime within the next couple of months, I'll be visiting some dear friends on the company's dime:

Hawthorne, NV (real close to Reno/Tahoe so I'll see Kevin and Scully.)
Oakland, CA (um, San Francisco, need I say more? I'll stay as long as I can.)
Philly (I actually ripped the folder out of someones hand and told them they'd have to fight me for it. They did. I won.)
Jersey (real close to where one of my bestest friends lives.)
Renselier, NY (can't wait to connect with some of the Albany burners!)

Awesome, right? I'll start making phone calls next week so I can plan some visits! After I get back from Illinois, that is.
