Currently at Seattle airport waiting to fly home. The weather here has been crazy mad hot so I think I have a false impression. I'd like to stay for a weekend sometime to explore more as it's very pretty with the water and green trees. The airport has done great art!



This in tile and some interesting architecture:





Next week back to Atlanta and Seattle...racking up the airpoints!

Travels

Having faced the blasting 37 degree heat in Atlanta I have arrived home sick! Every year I debate the flu shot (given in the past two they have given people the wrong strain I am not sure why I debate) and I never take it. So here I am again...
Nice things tho; stayed at the Renaissance which proved to be very pleasant. Apart from the garden bar I mentioned last time the place has a very cool retro feel.









Was also probably the nicest smelling hotel I've ever stayed in!
I feel like I learnt a bunch in the last few weeks and realized just how much I have learnt in the last 5 years (June being my 5th anniversary at Accenture).
There's a bunch of stuff going on with custody for the kids so I am not sure how the summer holidays roll out. Planning to have everyone to come to Seattle for a week while I am there working, visit good country (aka wine country) try some gold planning and maybe get over to see K&B in New Mexico...all subject to the custody stuff.

Atlanta

Sitting in the roof top bar at my hotel in Atlanta. It's 8pm and in the 40s and very humid, these temps are my life for the next 3 days. Found some yummy food; oxtail on toast and great local beer.






Not really complaining; well
flying here on Sunday wasn't my fav idea but timezones are what they are!

Seattle

Second week here; although home Wednesday night so not too long.
Two odd/funny moments. Last week landing at SFO we pulled up to the gate and...waited. Then the announcement came saying we all needed to sit down as they had to move the plane, we were not close enough to the air bridge. Just so happened that I had an upgrade and was sitting in business class so heard the voice on the radio say "yeah move it about 6 inches..." And so they did; some pilot somewhere owes a bunch of folks a beer.
This week I was on a 6am flight (totally full so I am not the only crazy out there). Get onboard; sleep for one of the two hours we fly. Wake up and head steward guy is leaning over and saying "Ms Stewart I just wanted to check your flight is okay; can I help you with anything?" Umm, what? No, thanks. Women across the aisle is
looking at me like I might be famous...
Meanwhile here in Seattle is it so stinking hot I want to melt!

Seattle bound

Late Friday afternoon, having booked flights for Atlanta, the world shifted again and I am now at the airport waiting to fly to Seattle! My first option local project didn't happen; there were
4 other possibilities then randomly the Seattle role emerged. It's Sold which means I am billable again. While I still get paid when not on a client the job is all about being billable so it's good to get a role. It's a "fixit" job, I know virtually nothing about it except something has gone wrong and I have to fix it...somehow. Perfect role for me really as randomness doesn't bother me. So here I am, off to Seattle to work with people I have yet to talk to, for a client I know nothing about (large telecommunications company) and solving a problem I know even less about. Upside is I have never been to Seattle and Sharene is excited to visit.
