Next on the traveling schedule was Richmond Virginia.� What a great trip only 4 hours!!!� It was a prefect weekend in Richmond.� The weather was beautiful, our capacities at the school were reasonable; it was just an all around good time.� Friday night “the guys” wanted to go cart racing.� I opted to go, my work partner decided to stay back at the hotel.� Shannon’s first trip with the school was Iowa.� She’s a great gal but life on the road had not been good for her – particularly concerning her bowels, if you get what I mean.� So she decided to stay in that night and take a little medicine to try and relieve herself.� The last trip she tried exlax, this time it was a 6 pack of bud light.� So we arrive at the go track – it is an indoor facility.� When we get in side and I take a look I realize this is not “mini golf” type go cart place, this is serious!� The first round my goal was just to hang in there, not embarrass myself and certainly not to sustain any major industries.� I did not do too bad my first round, although most of it was a complete blur because I just held the gas down and tried as hard as I could to make every turn.� After some advice from my coworkers on how to navigate the track I improved significantly, I even passed one of the boys.� It was really a blast but by the time we were finished with the 3rd round my arms were wasted.� I don’t think I could have gone again, thankfully it was late and we needed to head back to the hotel.� The road show is on a break now for 2 weeks.� JGRS has offered me work in the office to keep me employed fulltime while we are not traveling.� I don’t to anything very exciting.� I’m kind of the odd jobs gal, but works work right now.� I did follow up with the Cabarrus County Visitors Bureau and they are still 30 – 60 days out on make a decision.� While I what to hear more about that job I will continue at JGRS.� They are two more traveling dates this month, Atlanta and Talladega.� I have been to Atlanta before and Talladega should be interesting.
