Korean hut
I'm at a bar that reminds me of the hut, except it's Korean!

I'm at a bar that reminds me of the hut, except it's Korean!
In line to catch a flight back to the bay.
This trip to Sempra was mixed. I can't explain it since its confidential, but the gist of it is that I was not the right person to go. The correct person didn't want to go, so I filled in. It was proof of the saying, "50% of anything is just showing up"
Back to home then a long trip to SF for a late dinner.
I'm stuck at the San Jose airport and I'm unhappy :(
It looked like such a good day at the beginning. I was going to leave work early to jump a quick 50 min flight to San Diego where coincidently some of my friends just happen to be. We'd go get some food in the gas lamp district and have a few drinks.
That was until my 7:10 pm flight became a 11:15 flight! (so far... maybe delayed longer).
The best part is that I'm stuck at the San Jose airport. This airport has tiny areas that are no fun to explore, the TV doesn't show CNN but bad reality TV shows instead and the bar closed at 10:00pm.
I miss asia pac. When I walked off the plane in Singapore the sign read:
Customs -> baggage claim <- spa ->
poolside bar -> duty free <- Free internet access ->
Yes that's right. the sign that normaly leads you to long lines and waiting next to smelly people had postings for a poolside bar and a spa! don't believe me? check this link.

I watched hitch hikers guide to the galaxy recently, not the recent movie, but instead the dated miniseries adapted from the radio recording.
Anyway, it started me thinking. If anyone hasn't seen it, the movie is partialy about the answer to the ultimate question, the meaning of life. The answer stated in the movie is a joke, but it started me thinking.
I suppose I'm just having my quarter life crisis, but I still wonder. I've come up with a few options but none seem satisfactory.
A good example of this option would be moving to Maui and operating a para-sailing boat until I die. this is AKA retire right away. It is appealing, but has an empty feeling to it.
The one who dies with the most toys wins. Similar to option one, but at least you're working and making a more significant contribution to the world.
one way to attain immortality is to be spoken of long after your death. The best way to accomplish this varies by your skill set but everyone has the option. It can be attained through science (Avogadro did well), through art, or even through service as Mother Theresa found. This is getting a bit more appealing.
I'm stuck in NJ again. This seems to happen a lot.
Most of my business trips are to NJ. If you extrapolated from my business trips to determine where all business is, you'd find that 85% of all companies are in NJ.
The best part about NJ is Newark intl airport. It has inadequate bathrooms, connections so far apart that you can (and sometimes need to) take a taxi cab, and no wireless internet! Today is even stranger. A hacker had set up a wireless net station named 'free wireless internet' in hopes of reeling in a sucker. If only I had my black hat widgets, I could have had some fun.
I can't wait to return to SF.
We started the day with some dim sum followed by hitting the mall. It's kind of funny: I've lived near this mall for a year and this is only my third time here!
I suppose I'm just not the mall type. I'm outpurchasing Winnie so far though with a grand total of one purchase :).
What a nice break from the stress of work. I'm at the movie theater right now about to see the fantastic four. It looks like a decent flick. I'm here with the CSA gang. They plan good events. Fun and diverse and probably the only thing keeping me out of AA :). (They don't drink much).
Work has been nuts lately but I'm ok. The last JnJ demo put me over the edge I think. Now I'm in my gutting fish stage of my career as ty once put it.
Previews starting...
