We loaded up Simon’s car with our luggage and met Kev for breakfast at 8. I really enjoy having breakfast with them. It’s a fun part of my day.
Went over to the training site at 9 and the participants arrived at 9:30 for the training. I like the people in the program. Coffee breaks and lunches are quite fun. Mary works in the kitchen and has been so generous and kind to me. I gave her the Wisconsin souvenirs too.
The Q&A session went really well after class, and we're hopeful of getting the contract. That was the main reason I was there--to assist in this.
Simon and I said good-bye to Kevin and were off at 3:30 for Dublin. I really wanted to get pictures of the castle at Cashel, so we rushed to be there while it was still light (gets dark right now around 4 or 4:30. There was a huge long detour that delayed us but brought us through miles and miles of rural Ireland. Gorgeous countryside with ancient walls everywhere. I loved it and we still got to Cashel with daylight left and a little spark left in my camera battery.
Got to Dublin by 8 and searched around for the hotel. They do have Internet connection but it equates to about $3 per minute. That’s MINUTE. So I didn’t do much but download my email. Will catch up when I get home.
One bad thing—I left the resumes we need on my desk. Damn! Friday was so crazy at work that somehow I forgot them. Luckily I did bring the schedule of interviewees and the questions. Yikes—what a dope. Another time to feel stupid and it had nothing to do with language differences.
Will try to forget about it and will ask Claire or Carole to fax some of the resumes to the hotel.
