Thank god for free internet wireless access. That’s currently the entertainment of choice sitting here in the aiport in Las Vegas. Our flight has been delayed by about half an hour so it’s not a big deal but it sounds like there is quite the storm in Edmonton so the driving conditions will more than likely suck and starting my ice cube car will be a lottery when I get there.
You can tell I work for a technology company. I’ve got about 9 co-workers with me in the aiport and half of us are typing away on our laptops and a few others are messing about with their blackberrys. Blackberry addiction is a real problem I can tell you. I don’t have one but the folks around me who do seem to have them permanently glued to their hand throughout the day doing god knows what on them. Another co-worker is playing with her swearing parrot and now it looks like they’re huddling up to play cards now… We’re pretty much the only people in the depatures lounge now. It was full when I started typing this but has emptied out nicely.
Visited the the discount designer fashion mall in Vegas today looking for bargains. I did not really find any but it killed a couple of hours. Picked up a couple of belts for myself and my girlfriend (as I’ve lost weight and need a smaller belt now! Woo hoo!).
There was a (unintentionally) humerous road billboard that was from a legal firm that specializes in suing lawyers. I guess it’s come around full circle now. You can’t make this stuff up. I really wish I was able to take a picture of that but I was in a cab at the time.
We hung out in Ceasar’s Palace for awhile but head back to our hotel to take a taxi to the aiport. We even got to watch a guest throw up all over the entryway to the hotel whist we were waiting. Entertainment is ever-present in Vegas. It’s a very bizzare place indeed. At least the company is good and we’ve had some fun.
I think I should probably go in search of food now….
