Motown Visited

My trip to Detroit was enjoyable even though it was solely for business. I had a 5 night stay at the lovely Westin Detroit, which was company paid. All my food and expenses were company paid as well, the only downside is that I didn’t have my own car (The job gave me a car, but took it back before I left). Since there were eight of us and carpooled I was stuck with 7 other people at all times. Also I had to work twelve hour shifts, twelve hours of the mudane, twelve hours of printer install, twelve hours of heavy lifting, all which left me extremely drained. The only brief moment of sanity I had was the result of not going to a Tigers game and missing out on a bad titty bar under the premise that I was going to get some sleep. I actually got no sleep that night since I ‘made use of the resources available to me.’

A lot of things happened in the six days I was in Detroit which I’m not at liberty to discuss like getting drunk with my boss’ boss, hollering at females at this bar and him spilling Patron all over me. But like I said before, the trip was enjoyable and hopefully I’ll be considered in July to be shipped off again. And hopefully I’ll have my (T&E) travel and entertainment card by then.
