I reached Norfolk today and had such a busy day doing CIs, prototype walkthroughs. But I got to visit a Navy base (escorted with a few gentlemen of course) with my team and we observed users. Afterwards, they drove us around the base to see the view of the and airplane carriers and the destroyers.<\/p>\n
But the best part of this trip is the hotel. Superficiality aside, our room is nice!!! Equipped with wireless internet, an arm chair, a tv (that we didn\\’t use), two phones (one cordless), a safe, coffee maker and refrigerator. And a \\”board room\\” downstairs (which we used as our meeting room, complimentary breakfast, swimming pool and a non-working spa. Also cookies for snacks. Ok, so this is probably typical of most hotels but I haven\\’t done a nice one for awhile…<\/p>\n

At the moment, I realized that I went online…wrote out what I thought and felt to ease my own stress and pain. Then after that I would cruise through my usual listings of blogs and journals…trying to relive my friends\\’ experiences. Then I would often read the journals of people I didn\\’t respect (*cough*) and yes, I felt better from their pain. :) Even if we don\\’t want to admit it, we can believe at least that\\’s not me!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
