Taking Care of Business

Yesterday I returned from my business trip in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I had a nice time learning more about the company and what we do. We even got to visit headquarters, which were very nice. The last day of training we got to visit 2 stores to see how their programs work. The program will be starting here in Chicago in November.
I was surprised at how big Grand Rapids was. They actually had a handful of mini skyscrapers! Our second night we went to a really great Italian restaurant called Bistro Bella Vita that had an amazing flourless chocolate cake. Later that evening we went to a local brewery, Founders Brewery. I thought the place was going to be similar to Columbia's Flat Branch Brewery, but the place had peanuts on the floor, need I say more? It wasn't the classiest place, but the honey wheat beer was delicious! After the brewery we went to some club where things got a little crazy. I think 4 shots were purchased for me?!? We didn't get back to the hotel until 3am, and I was awake by 6am, albeit hungover. By 9am I was fine, so no harm, no foul.
I should be getting a netbook for work soon as well. I'm super excited about that. I'll also be getting a printer/fax/copier to go along with it. So, today I went to Target (I know, I did go to Meijer first but they didn't have the best furniture selection!) and bought a Shabby Chic desk, chair and lamp to create a little office space for myself. Once I get it all set up I'll post a picture.
Ok, hopefully this post made sense, I'm exhausted and not thinking clearly right now, but I wanted to give a little update on my trip.
