Work is killing me (not the way you think)

[DisMike]

Ok, I have an opportunity to do some instruction for new hires at work. There are 3 locations where the training is taking place. Atlanta, Dallas and Anaheim. The one at Anaheim is at the Hilton right across from DCA.

I figure, great, if I can go to Anaheim, it's for 10 days, I can bring the family and have a great vacation.

Where do I go? Dallas

ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!

 

[CMHusband]

Aaaaaaaaaagh!

 

[DmaxHawk]

Did you have a choice or did they just tell you where to go?

 

[DisMike]

No choice. I even tried to switch. No soap.

 

[skiingfast]

That's too bad. But I guess that's how the cake crumbles.

 

[DmaxHawk]

That's really unfortunate.

I'm sorry it worked out that way. Welcome to our neck of the woods though!

Bummer ~ my mom for work has been to conferences in Anaheim *2006 and San Diego *2009 & 2010 - we went with her for 06 & 09.

Hey ~ maybe next time.

That stinks!

A few years back I had to fly to LA for business (my client was actually Disney, oddly enough). Anyway, meeting ran late, and I missed my flight out of Burbank, which was the last flight back to Seattle. The guy I was traveling with really wanted to try to make back home that night, so he rebooked us out of SNA. We drove for 3 hours and missed our second flight and tried finding a hotel in Santa Ana, which we couldn't find, so we ended up staying at the HoJo. That was torture.

 

[tdashgirl]

Oh my that stinks. I feel your pain.

 

[goofycathy]

No bueno!!!

 

[DisMike]

Not to dis Dallas. I actually like Dallas. But in lieu of being across the street from DCA on work's nickel?

No contest.

It felt like a nightmare at the time!

 

[kaywoody]

Well, we'll be glad to have you! Lots to do here, but I agree, it's not Disney.....

Dude, that totally sucks. I hope you have fun in Dallas anyways. I like Dallas a lot. I wouldn't mind moving down there but I stay in Taxifornia just for DL.

haha you sound like me!!
I have family in Dallas that I have only seen twice! Both times I visited I loved the area.
I would really move there if California wasn't full of such amazing things!
Texas is wayyy cheaper in the housing department as well!! My family there has this amazingly pretty brick house in a great neighborhood and it's much cheaper than my parents house which is smaller and just normal looking.

 

[DisMike]

I love Dallas too. Don't mind going. It's just the lost opportunity that hurts.

There are so many reasons it would make sense to move there. Cheaper COL being a huge one. But then I think, DL would be soo far and that sort of trumps all.
