DATELINE: LEBANON, TN, Day 1

Today was my first real day on the job and it went pretty well. The client had overbooked me but several interviews fell through so it all worked out in the end.

There's nothing like watching tv on the couch in my king bed suite, pudding chilling in my mini-fridge, while thinking about the complimentary continental breakfast buffet waiting for me in the morning to make me feel like the power business man I am. That is, nothing except for driving around in my white rental Pontiac Grand Prix while enjoying the heated leather seats and satellite radio. Maybe I'll get a coke from the vending machine to enjoy during my late night soak in the hotel hot tub. I won't even care if my newspaper gets wet....there's always another USA Today in the lobby tomorrow.
