Here's to hoping flights aren't delayed (and luggage not lost) ... i have 2 plane changes to get to Rochester by 4:30 on Wednesday.
Ouch! I've only got 1 plane change, but @scottalanmiller swears that BWI (Baltimore/DC) is not a bad airport to switch planes.... we'll see. Can't be any worse than Atlanta's airport (but we do have some new art installations to look at while you walk 4 miles to the terminal, so there's that.)
It's not a bad airport. I really hate Atlanta anything less than an hour layover and you are in a sprint lol.
I've never had a plane change in ATL, but I always go 2 hours early so I can sit and drink tasty beers before getting on the plane. There is a bar every 6 feet in ATL airport, it's nice. I'll be at BWI for about an hour, so I hope I have time to relax between planes.
Don't you live outside of Atlanta? That is one of the worst airports we had a 30 minute layover and were literally sprinting to get to the next gate. My wife was 6 months pregnant at the time it was probably an amusing sight.
Delta frequently does a 41 minute layover there and it is the cheapest flight. I have done that sprint thing 3 times lol.
Does the price change drastically if you got your connecting flight a bit later? I always try to look at the layover time to be sure I don't have to run.
Yeah, but it really depends. I would rather do a 41 minute layover over a 3-4 hour layover in ATL any day of the week.
True. I find 1-1/2 hours is kinda the sweet spot. Plenty of time for a leisurely walk, a snack, and a pint.
@MarigabyFrias had 2.5 hours and even being on time they needed 3.5 hours to get her to her gate at IAH this week!
That sounds like a nightmare. And in an airport named after a Bush no less.
Did they also fly her to the wrong country?

Well I was specifically asking about the badges - it's the only think I expect currently has my name on it, the rest are just randomly/semi-randomly handed out.

Why a dragon?
I'd be expecting a little gray-blue fella.

Fair enough.

We should have levels based on D&D monsters by level ranking.

I am feeling the I have too many things to do and not enough time pressure! Hope you all are having a great weekend and getting rested up!

Just about two now,..
Good thing I made it in time. -

This is vacation?
If I didn't have a training budget, I suppose I'd have to use vacation to attend.

Definitely ask for one at your next job. Though, short of $5K+, I don't expect you'll go to much dedicated training, it will be more conferences like SW and MLcon.
I'm budgeted for $2500/yr which includes transportation, hotel and meals. Dedicated Cisco training that it's local, for example, the class will be $3500+. Sure there are less expensive ones, but those seem less common.

I've found a lot of places don't believe in budgets. (I do.)
If we can afford it and its a need, we do it.
