They were my Magic Carpet many times, to Japan and Guam and back, and to Minneapolis where I worked for a couple of clients, one there and one where I had to drive up to in Siren Wisconsin. I remember the big mall there and laughed because there were several Radio Shacks there. We were almost hit by a Tornado there while eating at a McDonald's with my employee, so I sped out of there back to the hotel I was staying at when the hail started as the clouds above turned green, I could hear the train like roar of the Tornado in the distance as the sirens were wailing--saved my colleague's life and he was quite happy. My client did, in the jargon of the hospitality industry "a push" because they could not get their occupancy permit, meaning we could not stay there to give them live support on their new network, but decided to hold us hostage there, since they would have had to pay for our return. So we went to the mall several times, and to the outdoor amusement park nearby which we enjoyed because it was not very crowded. My client was happy, but my boss was not he wanted us to teach the client but we had already taught the client what they needed to know and they paid for us to have a mini vacation while they waited in the jargon of IT implementation to "Go Live" so we could provide support. Me and my colleagues would work 12 hour shifts, since I was lead it was my choice whether to take the graveyard shift which my colleagues hated, or the day shift. My bosses would get upset if I chose graveyard but I felt it was very important, since night audit is the most important part of a hotel's daily accounting cycle. But sometimes I chose the day shift because graveyard messes with your sleep, which can be awful, as Alaskan's know with the 24 hour sun, it can force you into drug use to cope, which is the wrong approach.
