So here's everything in a nutshell:
- Picked up a plug converter and another long life battery for my T43. (Now I have two.)
- Started filling out the various forms to get a business visa in China (which includes an "invitation to Beijing" from a partner here in the US firm--potential slightly funny story later, if requested)
- Found out that the Dallas plan has changed--We had to cut one person and since i've already shadowed the product I'm expendable. Ok with me-- I'm the only one worldwide within PwC that can handle this product, and while I don't mind being the global expert, we need to get more PwC folks familiar with it. At least I get more time in Chicago to get stuff done.
- Determined that Chinese New Year is a family holiday and not worth sticking around Beijing
- Worked late
- Received an order for a pair of Rolex watches that normally retail in the US for about $7,500. Black market, probably $100 at most.
- Called Sean in Thailand tonight (Friday morning for him--he was doing laundry and getting ready for his week of camping), and have a funny story about how many times I tried to call before i got the dialing sequence right. Best dollar I've ever spent. Glad I've got international dialing on my cell phone.
- Was invited out for margaritas via AOL IM just before talking to Sean.
- Discovered that Thailand only has whiskey so I'm going to take some margarita mix (pre-mixed or Cuervo and mix) for Sean.
- Drank some killer margaritas.
