Atlanta, Computer, and Doctors, OH MY!
Just got back from my sales meeting in Atlanta. What a draining, boring affair! The good news? My bonus potential has been increased by 30% (I guess the $$ are coming from the savings realized after the layoffs). The bad news? We will be evermore scrutinized by the Company, FDA, and the DEA. The hotel (Mariott Marquis) was very cool; I was on the 41st floor, and had a birds-eye view of Atlanta, Mid-town, and Buckhead. My roommate was some weenie from Dallas, and quickly pissed me off with his hyper-health-freak attitude and myriad creams, pills and specialized H2O! Enjoyed the quick trip on MARTA from the airport; way better than a cab ($1.75) and faster. Everyone should use it, if they can.
I came home to find BOTH John and Henry with serious computer issues. My suggestion to both of you is to by a book on Windows XP and read it thoroughly. Secondly, understand that computers, over time, become clogged with detritus from opening and closing files, downloading of same, and installing/uninstalling of programs. every now and then, you will have to start fresh and reinstall WinXP, after wiping the hard drive. In Henry's case, the computer is simply near the end of its life, and really cannot be upgraded sufficiently. Best to wipe it clean, reinstall WinXP, and use it for the girls.
My best client, an GYN in Bradenton, has had his license suspended by the State of Florida for having "inappropriate sexual contact" with a patient. Because of this, I will potentially be in the hole $100,000 before I even close the books on January. What an idiot! He is no "Don Juan" and already has a decent-looking wife. I guess he got bored...
